Psalms 107:42 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:42

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice
Shall see the increase and prosperity of the saints, the glory of the church in the latter day, and rejoice at it; the judgments of God upon the wicked, upon antichristian princes and states, and rejoice on that account; see ( Revelation 18:20 ) ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) and the several deliverances of persons in distress before mentioned, and rejoice with them that rejoice; which is what good men ought to do, ( Romans 12:15 ) .

And all iniquity shall stop her mouth;
men of iniquity, very bad men, the man of sin and his followers, and all profane and atheistical persons, who will be silenced and have nothing to say against the providence of God; will be confounded, and through shame lay their hand on their mouths and be struck with admiration at the wonderful things done by the Lord for his people; nor will they have anything to say against their own condemnation.

Psalms 107:42 In-Context

40 Strife was shed out on princes; and he made them for to err without the way, and not in the way. (And he poured out his contempt upon their enemies? leaders; and he made them to wander without a way, and to go not on the way.)
41 And he helped the poor man from poverty; and setted families as a sheep bringing forth lambs. (But he helped the poor out of their poverty; and made families to be like sheep bringing forth lambs.)
42 Rightful men shall see, and shall be glad; and all wickedness shall stop his mouth. (The upright shall see, and shall be glad; and all the wicked shall close their mouths.)
43 Who is wise, and shall keep these things; and shall understand the mercies of the Lord? (Whoever is wise, shall think about these things; and then they shall understand the Lord's constant love.)
