Psalms 107:5

ExhaustionDiscouragement and depression

3 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.

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

6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.

7 He led them on a straight path to reach a city where they could live.
