From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Such as sit in darkness -The reference in these versesPsalms 107:10-14is evidently to the children of Israel, when in Babylon; and the design is, to show the goodness of God to them in their trouble, and the occasion which they had for praising him on that account. To “sit in darkness” is significant of great ignorance (compare the notes atLuke 1:79; notes atIsaiah 9:2); or of affliction and trouble, as darkness is an emblem of calamity. And in the shadow of death -A dark, gloomy, chilly shade such as “Death” would cast if he stood between us and the light. See the notes atJob 3:5; compareJob 10:21;Psalms 23:4;Psalms 44:19;Isaiah 9:2.
