107:17 They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, 1
and suffered because of their sins.
107:18 They lost their appetite for all food, 2
and they drew near the gates of death.
107:19 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:20 He sent them an assuring word 3 and healed them;
he rescued them from the pits where they were trapped. 4
107:21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his loyal love,
and for the amazing things he has done for people! 5
107:22 Let them present thank offerings,
and loudly proclaim what he has done! 6
