Context of Psalms 107:6
4Some of them travelled through the wilderness on a road that went nowhere. They did not find any city to live in. 5They were hungry and thirsty. They were very weak and nearly dead. Because of their trouble, they called to the Lord for help. He rescued them from their troubles. 7He led them along a straight road, to arrive at a city where they could live. 8So God's people should thank the Lord because of his faithful love. They should thank him for the great things that he does for people.
