Notes

Psalms 107:33–42

These two sections (Psalm 107:33–38, 39–42) expand the theme of the Lord’s complete authority and power over things that humans cannot control.

Psalms 107:1–43

This psalm is a hymn of praise to God the Redeemer. The psalmist begins by urging the redeemed to praise God for his goodness (Psalm 107:1–3). The psalmist then presents four examples of people whom the Lord saved from trouble (Psalm 107:4–32). He summarizes the Lord’s control over everything (Psalm 107:33–42) and ends with an invitation to recognize God’s loving devotion in all parts of life (107:43).
