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 Hij voerde hen uit de duisternis en de schaduw des doods, en Hij brak hun banden.
15 Laat hen voor den HEERE Zijn goedertierenheid loven, en Zijn wonderwerken voor de kinderen der mensen;
16 Want Hij heeft de koperen deuren gebroken, en de ijzeren grendelen in stukken gehouwen.
17 De zotten worden om den weg hunner overtreding, en om hun ongerechtigheden geplaagd;
18 Hun ziel gruwelde van alle spijze, en zij waren tot aan de poorten des doods gekomen.
