Psalms 107:9
For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
BSB
ASV
For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.
KJV
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
For he satisfieth the longing soul. This is the summary of the lost traveller's experience. He who in a natural sense has been rescued from perishing in a howling wilderness ought to bless the Lord who brings hint again to eat bread among men. The spiritual sense is, however, the more rich in instruction. The Lord sets us longing and then completely satisfies us.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
