Psalms 107:21 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:21

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness
Both in restoring to bodily health, which is an instance of divine goodness; and in healing the diseases of the soul, or in the pardon of sin, which is according to the multitude of his mercies, and the riches of his grace.

And for his wonderful works to the children of men;
bodily health is sometimes restored in a wonderful manner, when all means used are without success, and the prescriptions of doctors fail; and pardon of sin is a wonder of grace now, and will be to all eternity; and for these things praise ought to be given to the Lord, and they should be declared to men for his glory.

Psalms 107:21 In-Context

19 Then you called out to God in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time.
20 He spoke the word that healed you, that pulled you back from the brink of death.
21 So thank God for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves;
22 Offer thanksgiving sacrifices, tell the world what he's done - sing it out!
23 Some of you set sail in big ships; you put to sea to do business in faraway ports.
