Psalms 107:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 107:17

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.

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

20 ^aHe sent His word and ^bhealed them,
And ^cdelivered them from their destructions.

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

22 ^aLet them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And ^bdeclare His works with rejoicing.
