How very beautifully does this special call to the redeemed come in after the former verse! Pause, Reader! Pause, my soul! What sayest thou to this subject? Are we among the redeemed? Hath sovereign grace gathered us to Jesus, to whom the gathering of the people must be? Genesis 49:1; John 11:52. My soul! look, into thine own account, and see what causes arise there for joining in the Psalmist's song. Surely thou wast a long wanderer, like the prodigal who left his father's house: surely in hunger of soul, and thirst, and weariness, didst thou long go. And never, until God the Spirit put a cry in thine heart, didst thou find peace or comfort. And hath the God of thy salvation brought thee by a right way, however thorny, or painful to flesh and blood; and in Jesus hast thou found that city of habitation, whose builder and maker is God? Well then may I shout aloud this hymn of praise to him who hath satiated my weary soul, and replenished my sorrowful soul. Luke 15:13-14; Hebrews 11:9-10; Jeremiah 31:25; Isaiah 28:12; Matthew 11:28.

2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
