Psalms 107:3

and gathered from [distant] lands:

from the east (where the sun rises),
from the west (where the sun sets),
from the north (Hebr. tsafon) [Ps. 48:2]
and from the sea.
[Here one would expect the four cardinal directions, but the last word is the sea, which usually refers to the west. It may be a reference to the Red Sea and the Exodus from Egypt, in which case it refers to the south. Regardless of the interpretation of the sea, these four words lead to the four sections that follow: the desert east of Israel, see verses 4–9; captivity (also figuratively for darkness) corresponds to the west where the sun sets, see verses 10–16; the sick who have been healed in the north (may refer to the god mountain Tsafon in the north and idolatry), see verses 17–22; and finally the sea and the sailors, see verses 23–32.]
