Context of Psalms 107:11
9For He satisfies the parched throat, And fills the hungry appetite with what is good. 10Some dwelt in darkness and in the deep (deathly) darkness, Prisoners [bound] in misery and chains, Because they had rebelled against the precepts of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High. 12Therefore He humbled their heart with hard labor; They stumbled and there was no one to help. 13Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them from their distresses.
