Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 107:10

Theological / Devotional

Sit in darkness. See on Ps. 23:4. Ancient prisons were usually dark vaults, and the feet and hands of the prisoners were often bound in fetters of iron. In this dismal, dark cell the accused would await his sentence. This is a picture of every child of Adam before the great Deliverer comes to open the prison doors and set him free. The work of the Redeemer was to open the prison to them that were bound and proclaim liberty to the captives (see Isa. 61:1; Luke 4:17, 18).

Shadow of death. See on Ps. 23:4.
