Context of Psalms 107:19
17Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted. 18Their soul abhorred all manner of food, And they drew near to the gates of death. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. 20He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. 21Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
