Psalms 107:20
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.
He sent forth His word and healed them; He rescued them from the Pit.
21 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
22 Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing.
