Context of Psalms 107:7
5They were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them. 6Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses. He led them also by a straight way, To go to an inhabited city. 8Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men! 9For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
