Verse in context — Psalms 107

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut through bars of iron.

Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.

Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.

Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, he saves them out of their distresses.
