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.

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

Psalms 107:2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.“Say so”An overture, an antiphon, a doxology is this psalm, and in my text the psalmist calls for an outspoken religion, and requests all who have been rescued and blessed no longer to hide the glorious facts, but to publish them, and, as far as possible, let all the world know about it. “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” If you have in your heart the pearl of great price, why not let others see it? If you got off the wreck in the breakers,... read more

am 3468, bc 536 - Title The author of this Psalm is unknown; but it was evidently written to commemorate the return of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity; and it may easily be perceived that it must have been sung in alternate parts, having a double burden, or two intercalary verses often recurring. Bp. Lowth considers it as written "after the method of the ancient pastorals, where, be the subject of their verse what it will, each swain endeavours to excel the other; and one may perceive... read more
