Notes

Psalms 107:6

The psalmist does not say what caused his trouble and distress. Because the problem is not specific, people in many different situations can identify with the laments.

Psalms 107:4–9

Those who were lost in the desert wastelands thank God for his rescue. The desert wastelands might be a metaphor for leaving the path of wisdom (Psalm 1:1; Proverbs 4:10–15).

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).
