Context of Psalms 107:6
4Some wandered in the desolate wilderness, finding no way to a city where they could live. 5They were hungry and thirsty; their spirits failed within them. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; he rescued them from their distress. 7He led them by the right path to go to a city where they could live. 8Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.
