Psalms 107:17-22

Under another similitude, the Psalmist here sets forth the miseries of our fallen nature, in order to display the benignity and compassion of Heaven in our recovery. When sin entered into the world, sickness and death followed. Jesus the Son of God came to bear our sickness, and to carry our sorrows. And he by his own death hath overcome death, and by taking out the sting of death, which is sin, hath brought his people to the right of inheritance in that happy climate, where the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. Isaiah 33:24. Hence a new occasion ariseth for praising the divine mercy in Jesus.
