Psalms 107:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:9

For he satisfieth the longing soul
The soul that is hungry and thirsty, and longs for food and drink, when nature in such circumstances craves. And so such who long for Christ and his grace, for an interest in him, and fellowship with him, the Lord satisfies with these things, as with marrow and fatness.

And filleth the hungry soul with goodness;
with the goodness and fatness of his house; with good things; with the good things laid up in Christ and in the covenant; with the good things of the Gospel; with the grace and goodness of God in Christ; see ( Psalms 65:4 ) ( 103:5 ) .

Psalms 107:9 In-Context

7 He led them by the right path to go to a city where they could live.
8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for His faithful love and His wonderful works for the human race.
9 For He has satisfied the thirsty and filled the hungry with good things.
10 Others sat in darkness and gloom- prisoners in cruel chains-
11 because they rebelled against God's commands and despised the counsel of the Most High.
