Psalm 107:9-11
New Catholic Bible

9 He has satisfied the thirsty
    and filled the hungry with good things.
10 [a]Some sat in darkness and the shadow of death,[b]
    bound in misery and in chains,
11 because they had rebelled against the words of God
    and spurned the plan of the Most High.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 107:10 The psalmist evokes God’s deliverance of his people from foreign bondage, especially in the return from the Exile (see Isa 43:5f; 49:12; Zec 8:7f). In addition, guilt, darkness, grinding toil, and the constriction of chains, gates, and bars are apt figures for the fallen state of human beings.
  2. Psalm 107:10 See Pss 105:18; 149:8; Isa 42:7; 49:9. The Exile was a chastisement (see Lev 26:41ff; Job 33:19; 36:8ff; Prov 3:12), announced by the Prophets. Shadow of death: see note on Ps 23:4.
