Psaume 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.

Psaume 107:14 In-Context

12 Il avait humilié leur cœur par la souffrance; ils succombaient loin de tout secours.

13 Alors ils ont crié à l'Éternel dans leur détresse; et il les a délivrés de leurs angoisses.

14 Il les a tirés des ténèbres et de l'ombre de la mort; il a rompu leurs liens.

15 Qu'ils célèbrent l'Éternel pour sa bonté, pour ses merveilles envers les fils des hommes!

16 Car il a brisé les portes d'airain, et rompu les barreaux de fer.
