Psalms 107:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:14

He brought them out of darkness
In which they were by nature, into marvellous light; to see their interest in Christ, and his salvation; and to have the light of joy and comfort in him.

And the shadow of death;
quickening them by his Spirit and grace; causing them to live by faith upon him; entitling them to eternal life, and securing them from eternal death.

And brake their bands in sunder;
their cords and fetters of affliction; or their bands of sin, and the power of it; and loosed them whom Satan had bound and kept so for many years, and brought them into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

13 In their trouble they cried to ADONAI, and he rescued them from their distress.

14 He led them from darkness, from death-dark gloom, shattering their chains.

15 Let them give thanks to ADONAI for his grace, for his wonders bestowed on humanity!

16 For he shattered bronze doors and cut through iron bars.
