What does Psalm 107:1 mean?
Please see our chapter commentary on Psalm 107, verse-level content coming soon!Psalm 107:1–9 calls on God's people to offer praise. This is a response to the Lord's many examples of intervention. The examples may be general, but some suggest the song was written during or about the exile in Babylon (Jeremiah 29:14). The first example of the Lord's love are people struggling to survive in the desert. God directed them to a place where they could live.
Those whom God has rescued from trouble should worship Him for their salvation. The Lord's intervention has saved people from harsh environments, imprisonment, dangers of travel, famine, and oppression. Seeing those rescues should lead people to appreciate God's deep and loyal love.
