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.

Psalms 107:14 In-Context

13 Then they cried out to the LORD because of their problems. And he saved them from their troubles.

14 He brought them out of the deepest darkness. He broke their chains off.

15 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the miracles he does for his people.

16 He breaks down gates that are made of bronze. He cuts through bars that are made of iron.
