Psalms 107:41 - Exposition

Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction . Even in such dread calamities, when a whole nation is punished, God's providence protects the poor and needy—not of course in all, but still in very many, eases. The mower's scythe passes over the humblest flowers. And maketh him families like a flock (setup. Job 21:11 ). Those whom God thus preserves he collects into "families," and looks after as carefully as a shepherd looks after his sheep.
