Context: Psalms 107
35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
About Psalms 107: The Faithfulness of God
Psalm 107 celebrates the faithfulness of God and His power to redeem and rescue His people in times of distress. The psalmist calls upon the redeemed people to thank the Lord for His steadfast love and to share their stories of deliverance. The psalmist highlights four groups of people who experienced God's rescue: those who were lost, hungry and thirsty in the desert, prisoners in darkness and chains, foolish who suffered due to their rebellious ways, and those who were caught in a stormy sea.
Commentary
Psalm 107 is a song of praise and thanksgiving to God for His faithfulness and mercy. The psalmist reminds us that God's love endures forever, and He is always ready to save His people from their troubles. In this psalm, we see the redeemed people of God giving thanks for their miraculous deliverance from various situations.
As we read the psalm, we can also draw comfort and hope from it. We sometimes find ourselves lost and disoriented, or imprisoned in the darkness of our sin. We may experience the consequences of our foolishness and rebellion, or we may be caught up in the storms of life. However, this psalm reminds us that God is always ready to hear our cries and to rescue us from captivity.
