Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 107:2

107:2 Let the {b} redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;(b) As was true in the Jews, so there is not one of God’s elect who does not feel his help in their necessity. read more

James Gray

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 107:2-9

How very beautifully does this special call to the redeemed come in after the former verse! Pause, Reader! Pause, my soul! What sayest thou to this subject? Are we among the redeemed? Hath sovereign grace gathered us to Jesus, to whom the gathering of the people must be? Genesis 49:1 ; John 11:52 . My soul! look, into thine own account, and see what causes arise there for joining in the Psalmist's song. Surely thou wast a long wanderer, like the prodigal who left his father's house: surely in... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 107:3

Arise, my glory. Is found also in this psalm, though not here in Hebrew, &c. St. Jerome (ad Sun.) thinks some copyist has inserted it. (Calmet) --- But it seems to be here in its proper place. (Berthier) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 107:1-9

1-9 In these verses there is reference to the deliverance from Egypt, and perhaps that from Babylon: but the circumstances of travellers in those countries are also noted. It is scarcely possible to conceive the horrors suffered by the hapless traveller, when crossing the trackless sands, exposed to the burning rays of the sum. The words describe their case whom the Lord has redeemed from the bondage of Satan; who pass through the world as a dangerous and dreary wilderness, often ready to faint... 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
