Psalms 107:17
15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
16 For He has broken down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron.
Fools, in their rebellious ways, and through their iniquities, suffered affliction.
18 They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
