Context of Psalms 107:6
4They wandered through the wilderness on a desert road; they found no city in which to live. 5They were hungry and thirsty; they fainted from exhaustion. They cried out to the Lord in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles. 7He led them on a level road, that they might find a city in which to live. 8Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!
