Psalms 107:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:1

O give thanks unto the Lord
As all men should do, at all times and for all things; the psalm begins as the former does, and gives the same reasons for thanksgiving.

For he is good;
and does good, and is the author of all good.

For his mercy endureth for ever;
and men in every age are partakers of it.
