Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
Psalm 107, to which this verse belongs, is a record of Israel's history displaying God's goodness, mercy, and love. That goodness, mercy, and love are to be appreciated.
The verse pictures people wandering in a desert wilderness with no city to dwell in, hungry and thirsty until their soul fainted within them. When they cried to the Lord in their trouble, He delivered them out of their distresses. He then led them by a straight way to a city to dwell in, satisfying the longing soul and filling the hungry soul with good, thereby revealing His loving-kindness and His wonderful works to people.
His deliverance and goodness are a reason for the redeemed to praise Him. Those harmed by harsh, unforgiving treatment are driven to cry to Him in their distress, and the Lord will judge those who cause them such suffering.
