Psalm 107:16

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

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 107:16

107:16 For he hath broken the {f} gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.(f) When there seems to man’s judgment no recovery, but all things are brought to despair, then God chiefly shows his mighty power. 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

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 107:10-16

Here is another striking representation, whether considered with respect to God's providence or his grace, to show the miseries of our nature by the fall. How do souls groan in their prison-houses! Whether the cry be from grace or nature, yet misery will cause it to be put forth. Elihu describes the state of carnal men under misery: they cry out, he saith, by reason of the multitude of oppressors; but none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night? In all this no cry to God,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 107:10-16

10-16 This description of prisoners and captives intimates that they are desolate and sorrowful. In the eastern prisons the captives were and are treated with much severity. Afflicting providences must be improved as humbling providences; and we lose the benefit, if our hearts are unhumbled and unbroken under them. This is a shadow of the sinner's deliverance from a far worse confinement. The awakened sinner discovers his guilt and misery. Having struggled in vain for deliverance, he finds... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 107:10-16

The second paragraph treats of captives. v. 10. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, in miserable captivity, such as that of King Manasseh, being bound in affiliation and iron, bound in pain and torture, especially by iron fetters of a shameful imprisonment, v. 11. because they rebelled against the words of God, proclaimed for their salvation, and contemned the counsel of the Most High, their rejection of God's gracious purposes in their behalf, combined with blasphemy,... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 107:16

“Wonderful Works to the Children of Men” Psalms 107:16 In this psalm those who have been redeemed by the gracious interpositions of God are summoned to praise Him for a love which endures through all our rebuffs and backslidings. Note how this refrain breaks out in Psalms 107:8 ; Psalms 107:15 ; Psalms 107:21 ; Psalms 31:1-24 . The psalmist passes before us a series of pictures, selected from the stories of human suffering which have been repeated in all ages of human history. Travelers who... read more
