Psalms 107:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 107:5

3 And ^agathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.

4 They wandered in ^athe wilderness in a desolate way;
They found no city to dwell in.

5 Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.

6 ^aThen they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses.

7 And He led them forth by the ^aright way,
That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.

8 ^aOh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
