Context of Psalms 107:11
9For he has satisfied those who thirst, and those who hunger he has filled with food. 10They sat in utter darkness, bound in painful iron chains, because they had rebelled against God’s commands, and rejected the instructions of the sovereign king. 12So he used suffering to humble them; they stumbled and no one helped them up. 13They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles.
