Psalms 107:11
9 For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and chains,
because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
12 He humbled their hearts with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
13 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
