Psalms 107:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 107:1

O give thanks unto the Lord
As all men should do, at all times and for all things; the psalm begins as the former does, and gives the same reasons for thanksgiving.

For he is good;
and does good, and is the author of all good.

For his mercy endureth for ever;
and men in every age are partakers of it.

Psalms 107:1 In-Context

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3 those he gathered from the lands, from east and west, from north and south.
4 Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle.
5 They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away.
