Psalms 107:3

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy

and gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.

4 Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no path to a city in which to dwell.

5 They were hungry and thirsty; their soul fainted within them.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
