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.

23 Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters,

24 They see the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
