Psalms 107:15

13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.

14 ^aHe brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.

15 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

16 For He has ^abroken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.

17 Fools, ^abecause of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.

18 ^aTheir soul abhorred all manner of food,
And they ^bdrew near to the gates of death.

Psalms 107:15

Oh that men would praise ... - See the notes at Psalms 107:8. The idea here is that the things just referred to "should" call forth expressions of gratitude to God. The immediate reference is to those who had partaken of these proofs of the divine goodness, but still the language is so general as to be applicable to all classes of people.
