Psalms 107:7
5 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.
He led them on a straight path to reach a city where they could live.
8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.
9 For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
