G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 107:1-43

WE now begin the fifth and last book of the Psalter. In this book the music is richest and fullest. It begins in this psalm on the fundamental notes, and rises through major and minor, by the way of the songs of ascents, to the final measures of perfect praise contained in the doxology. The first thirty-two verses contain a wonderful story of redemption, using that word in its sense of deliverance from positions and circumstances of peril. In a prologue the theme of the songs is stated. A... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 107:1-43

INTRODUCTIONMany expositors are of opinion that this Psalm was written to celebrate the return of the Jews from the Babylonian exile. This opinion is based chiefly on Psalms 107:2-3. But the Psalm as a whole does not seem to us to favour such a conclusion. Perowne says: “It is obvious that this Psalm is not historical. It describes various incidents of human life, it tells of the perils which befall men, and the goodness of God in delivering them, and calls upon all who have experienced His... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 107:1-43

Let's turn now in our Bibles to Psalms 107:1-43 . The hundred and seventh psalm begins with an exhortation to us toGive thanks unto the LORD ( Psalms 107:1 ),And the basis for the thanksgiving is His goodness and His mercy. Two things that we really should be thankful for: the goodness of God to us, and then God's mercy unto us. How thankful I am for the mercy of God. Were it not for the mercy of God, where would I be tonight? Surely not here. But,for his mercy that endureth for ever ( Psalms... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 107:1-43

This psalm begins the fifth and last book of the Hebrew psalter. It is divided into five parts or pauses, as it would seem, in the singing and the music. The character of the composition, though diversified in subject, assimilates with the two preseding psalms. It is an admirable illustration of the doctrine of a gracious providence, and calculated to excite gratitude and confidence in the Lord. Psalms 107:4 . They wandered in a solitary way. The Lord led them in the way of the wilderness,... read more
