Context of Psalms 107:11
9He gives drink to people who are thirsty. He gives plenty of good things to hungry people. 10Some people sat in a completely dark place. Iron chains held them as prisoners, and they were very sad. They had refused to obey God's commands. They did not accept the teaching of the Most High God. 12Because of that, God caused them to become weak from very hard work. When they fell down, nobody would help them to stand up. 13Because of their trouble, they called to the Lord for help. He rescued them from their troubles.
