Listen to Psalm 107:16
16 Perciocchè egli ha rotte le porte di rame, Ed ha spezzate le sbarre di ferro.

Psalm 107:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:16

For he hath broken the gates of brass
The prison doors made of brass, as sometimes of iron, for the security of the prisoners; see ( Acts 12:10 ) . And cut the bars of iron in sunder; with which they were barred and secured. Hyperbolical phrases these, as Kimchi, expressing how exceeding strong the prison doors were, and the impossibility of an escape out of them, unless the Lord had delivered them; but when he works, none can let; all obstructions are easily removed by him; which is the sense of the words, see ( Isaiah 45:2 ) . Vitringa, on ( Revelation 12:2 ) , interprets this of the subjection of the Roman emperors to the faith and obedience of Christ.

Psalm 107:16 In-Context

14 E li ha tratti fuor delle tenebre, e dell’ombra della morte; Ed ha rotti i lor legami.
15 Celebrino adunque appo il Signore la sua benignitĂ , E le sue maraviglie appo i figliuoli degli uomini.
16 Perciocchè egli ha rotte le porte di rame, Ed ha spezzate le sbarre di ferro.
17 Così dicano gli stolti, ch’erano afflitti per li lor misfatti, Ne’ quali camminavano, e per le loro iniquità.
18 La cui anima abbominava ogni cibo; Ed erano giunti fino alle porte della morte.
