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.

2 Say they, that be again-bought of the Lord; which he again-bought from the hand of the enemy, (Say they, who were redeemed by the Lord; whom he rescued from the power of the enemy,)

3 from countries he gathered them together. From the rising of the sun, and from the going down; from the north, and from the sea. (yea, he gathered them together from all the countries. From the rising of the sun, and from the going down of the same; from the north, and from the sea.)

4 They erred in wilderness, in a place without water; they found not way of the city of dwelling place. (They wandered about in the desert, in a place without water; they could not find the way to a city to live in.)

5 They were hungry and thirsty; their soul(s) failed in them.
