Psalms 107:11
because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
BSB
ASV
Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High:
KJV
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
Because they rebelled against the words of God,.... All afflictions, as captivity and imprisonment, are generally for sin; which is a rebellion against God, and a transgression of his laws. Adam rebelled against the words of God, not giving credit to them, but believing the words of the devil; and so brought himself and all his posterity into that state of darkness, captivity, and death, before described.
Their sufferings were for their rebellion against (Ps 105:28) the words, or purposes, or promises, of God for their benefit. When humbled they cry to God, who delivers them from bondage, described as a dark dungeon with doors and bars of metal, in which they are bound in iron--that is, chains and fetters. shadow of death--darkness with danger (Ps 23:4).
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
