Psalm 107:31

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 107:31

Oh that men... - See Psalms 107:8, note; Psalms 107:15, note; Psalms 107:21, note. Assuredly they who are thus delivered from the dangers of the sea should praise the Lord; they who have seen the wonders of God on the great ocean should “never” forget God. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 107:1-43

Psalms 107-108 Specific thanksgivingsPsalms 107:0 seems to be particularly appropriate to the time of the Jews’ return to their homeland after their exile in Babylon. It is a song of thanksgiving to be sung by those who have been saved from some great affliction or danger (107:1-3). Four different cases are introduced by verses 4, 10, 17 and 23. Each of the cases describes the danger, notes the prayer, outlines the answer and concludes with a word of instruction and warning.The first... read more

2. Specific instances of deliverance 107:4-32The writer cited four times when the Israelites cried out to God for deliverance and He saved them (Psalms 107:6; Psalms 107:13; Psalms 107:19; Psalms 107:28; cf. Judges 2:18; Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21; Romans 10:13). These situations were answers to the prayer Solomon prayed at the dedication of the temple (cf. 1 Kings 8:46-53). At the end of each section, the psalmist reminded the redeemed to thank God with the same refrain (Psalms 107:8; Psalms 107:15;... read more

Fourth, God delivered sailors when they cried out to Him in storms. He calmed the seas and brought them safely to their ports (cf. Matthew 8:23-27; Luke 8:22-25). This, too, demands public praise from those who were rescued."The thank offering of the Psalms appears to be one pledged by the worshiper during or after some zero hour of his life. On the basis of Psalms 107 the rabbis spoke of four occasions when the thank offering was appropriate: safe return from a voyage (Psalms 107:23-32), safe... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 107:1-43

The Psalmist sings the lovingkindness of the Lord, giving examples from (a) Israel in the wilderness (Psalms 107:4-9), (b) people in captivity (Psalms 107:10-16), (c) people in sickness (Psalms 107:17-22), (d) vicissitudes of sea-going men (Psalms 107:23-32), (e) and a rescue from drought (33-42). The Ps. has a refrain at intervals (Psalms 107:8, Psalms 107:15, Psalms 107:21, Psalms 107:31).1. For his mercy endureth for ever] evidently a well-known refrain: cp. Psalms 136. Mercy] better,... read more

From the Sea to the City Psalms 107:23-24 To return to London in this forge of human work and passion when one has been living with great nature, almost in solitude, is always a curious experience. The things which are considered of vast importance in London seem small; the battles waged ere with amazing ardour, needless and apart from the greater issues of life. Man, we think, is walking in a vain show, and disquieting himself in vain. The great things of nature, the mighty powers we have... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 107:1-43

Psalms 107:1-43NOTWITHSTANDING the division of Books which separates Psalm evil from the two preceding, it is a pendant to these. The "gathering from among the heathen" prayed for in Psalms 106:41 has here come to pass (Psalms 107:3). The thanksgiving which there is regarded as the purpose of that restoration is here rendered for it. Psalms 105:1-45 had for theme God’s mercies to the fathers. Psalms 106:1-48 confessed the hereditary faithlessness of Israel and its chastisement by calamity and... read more

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
