Psalms 107:19

And he saveth them out of their distresses:
their afflictions, which were distressing to them, by removing their disorders and restoring them to health again; as follows.

19 Dann schreien sie zu Jehova in ihrer Bedrängnis, und aus ihren Drangsalen rettet er sie.
20 Er sendet sein Wort und heilt sie, und er errettet sie aus ihren Gruben.
21 Mögen sie Jehova preisen wegen seiner Güte und wegen seiner Wundertaten an den Menschenkindern;
