What Does Psalms 107:11 Mean?
Unlike the first group, whose distress is not explained by cause, this group's affliction is attributed to their sin—rebellion against God's word and contempt for his guidance. 'Contemned' means scorned or despised.
This establishes that while God delivers from affliction caused by circumstance, he also brings correction when his people reject his word. Affliction here is consequence of choice.
