Psalms 107:9
7 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.
For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and chains,
11 because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
