And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
The verse concerns people wandering without direction in a desert wilderness, a desolate place with no settled home. In that condition they were hungry and thirsty until their strength failed. When they cried to Jehovah in trouble, He freed them and delivered them from distress.
He then led them forth by the straight, right way to a settled home, a city where they can dwell, with those so led identified as the Israelites. This guidance and deliverance reveal God's goodness, mercy, and love and belong to His wonderful works to people, showing that He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good. Studying the verse teaches the need to appreciate that goodness, mercy, and love, and calls for praise and thanksgiving to Jehovah for His loving-kindness and wonderful works.
