Commentary on Psalms 107:16

Theological / Devotional

Gates of brass. That is, “gates of copper, or bronze” (see on Ex. 25:3). In olden times, to secure the gates of cities, it was customary to cover them with thick plates of brass and iron. This was a protection against the enemy. But brazen gates or iron bars cannot secure a city against falling into the hands of the instrument chosen by God to deliver His people (see Isa. 45:2).
