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.
1O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
