Commentary

Matthew Henry on Psalms 107:1-9

Here is, I. A general call to all to give thanks to God, Psa 107:1. Let all that sing this psalm, or pray over it, set themselves herein to give thanks to the Lord; and those that have not any special matter for praise may furnish themselves with matter enough from God's universal goodness.

[274] 3. Whom he hath gathered out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. [275] 4. They wandered from the way in the solitary desert, [276] they did not find a city of habitation. 5. Both hungry and thirsty, so that their soul fainted within them. 6. In their straits they called upon Jehovah, and he delivered them from all their afflictions. 7. And he directed them by a right way, that they might come to a city of habitation. 8. Let them praise the mercy of…
