Commentary
Commentary on Psalms 107:1
Theological / DevotionalO give thanks. A general call exhorting men to lift their voices in a chorus of thanksgiving to Jehovah. This is the least men can do in return for what God has done for them. Praise is well pleasing to God, and our voices ought to be uplifted often in songs of gratitude.
Good. Heb. ṭob. Goodness is one of the great attributes of God. God is not only good in Himself, but also the fountain from which all goodness flows.
Mercy. Heb. chesed, “divine love” (see Additional Note on Ps. 36). The psalmist was conscious that God’s goodness and mercy were following him constantly (see on Ps. 23:6). In all the trying circumstances of life it is comforting to know that the great heart of God is full of loving-kindness and tender mercy toward the children of men.
