Context of Psalms 107:3
1Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy, And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south. 4They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way; They found no city to dwell in. 5Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
