The Context — The History
Psalm 107 opens a collection of thanksgiving psalms recounting how God rescued wanderers, prisoners, the sick, and sailors. Its refrain became a communal reminder that Israel's story—and the world's hope—rests on the Lord's enduring loyal love.
The Narrative — The Lead-Up
The psalm calls the redeemed of the Lord to gather and testify. Four vignettes show people in distress who cried to the Lord and were saved. Each story returns to the refrain: give thanks, for he is good and his love endures forever.
