What does Psalm 107:11 mean?
Please see our chapter commentary on Psalm 107, verse-level content coming soon!Psalm 107:10–16 continues to give examples of how the Lord has intervened for Israel. Due to sin and rebellion against God, some were imprisoned and forced into hard work. Yet when they called for rescue, the Lord answered them with freedom. The example may be generic, or a description of some of the Israelites taken captive into Babylon.
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.
