Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 107:1-43

THE DEUTERONOMY SECTION: BOOK FIVE: Psalm 107-150 The final section of the book of Psalms, the fifth, is just like Deuteronomy. It shows God’s ways with Israel, the end of these ways in deliverance not only for His people, but for their land, for the nations of the earth, for all creation. The book ends with the Hallelujah Chorus of redemption. Psalms 107:0 Psalms 108:0 Psalms 107:0 Israel’s Deliverances 1. The wanderers regathered (Psalms 107:1-9 ) 2. The prisoners released (Psalms... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 107:1-43

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 107:1-43

The Silent Church Psa 107:43 This is the higher wisdom. The text begins with the "wise." Wisdom is assumed, not intellectual wisdom, which is often only another name for ignorance, but moral wisdom, wisdom of the heart. Whoso hath such wisdom, and will apply it in the observation of history, providence, mysterious interposition, shall come little by little to understand not intellectually only, but morally, sympathetically; as if by identification with the thing itself the lovingkindness of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 107:17-22

Under another similitude, the Psalmist here sets forth the miseries of our fallen nature, in order to display the benignity and compassion of Heaven in our recovery. When sin entered into the world, sickness and death followed. Jesus the Son of God came to bear our sickness, and to carry our sorrows. And he by his own death hath overcome death, and by taking out the sting of death, which is sin, hath brought his people to the right of inheritance in that happy climate, where the inhabitant... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 107:17-22

17-22 If we knew no sin, we should know no sickness. Sinners are fools. They hurt their bodily health by intemperance, and endanger their lives by indulging their appetites. This their way is their folly. The weakness of the body is the effect of sickness. It is by the power and mercy of God that we are recovered from sickness, and it is our duty to be thankful. All Christ's miraculous cures were emblems of his healing diseases of the soul. It is also to be applied to the spiritual cures which... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 107:17-22

The next section treats of those who foolishly bring misery upon themselves by willful indulgence in sin. v. 17. Fools because of their transgression, men devoid of proper mentality, as they prove themselves to be by indulging in sins which invariably carry their own punishment with them, like immorality and intemperance, and because of their iniquities, are affiliated. A person yielding to every sensual and sensuous desire, setting aside all sanity and deliberately ruining his health and... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 107:17-32

“His Wonders in the Deep” Psalms 107:17-32 Sickness yields the third type of suffering. Emphasis is laid on the cause of the suffering, which in the view of the writer is transgression and sin. We shall be justified, therefore, in confining our view of this section to the pain which is directly traceable to wrong-doing. Men ruin their health by evil courses, and the sinner drags down his punishment with his own hands. The portals of death had already opened to receive the sick men, but... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 107:1-43

WE now begin the fifth and last book of the Psalter. In this book the music is richest and fullest. It begins in this psalm on the fundamental notes, and rises through major and minor, by the way of the songs of ascents, to the final measures of perfect praise contained in the doxology. The first thirty-two verses contain a wonderful story of redemption, using that word in its sense of deliverance from positions and circumstances of peril. In a prologue the theme of the songs is stated. A... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 107:1-43

BOOK V.— PSS. CVII.– CL. CVII. A Psalm of Thanksgiving for Yahweh’ s Special Goodness.— It is divided at Psalms 107:8 f., Psalms 107:15 f., Psalms 107:21 f., Psalms 107:31 f. by a refrain: viz. “ Oh that men would praise Yahweh for his goodness and for his wonderful works,” etc. The Ps. therefore falls into the following divisions: Psalms 107:1-1 Samuel :. Deliverance of homeless wanderers. In our text, as it stands, there seems to be some confusion between deliverance from adversity in... read more
