4 He prays for pardon of sin, as God pardoned the fathers.

7 The story of the people's rebellion, and God's mercy.

47 He concludes with prayer and praise.

(Title.)As part of the preceding Psalm is found in 1 Ch ch. 16, so the first and two last verses of this are found in the same place; and it is highly probable this was composed upon the same occasion as the former, to which it seems to be a continuation; for as that celebrates the mercies of God to Israel, so this confesses and deplores the rebellions of Israel against Jehovah.

Praise ye the Lord. Heb. Hallelujah.

‏ Psalms 107:1

1 The psalmist exhorts the redeemed, in praising God, to observe his manifold providence,

4 over travellers;

10 over captives;

17 over sick men;

23 over seamen;

33 and in divers varieties of life.

A.M. 3468. B.C. 536. (Title.)The author of this Psalm is unknown; but it was evidently written to commemorate the return of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity; and it may easily be perceived that it must have been sung in alternate parts, having a double burden, or two intercalary verses often recurring. Bp. Lowth considers it as written "after the method of the ancient pastorals, where, be the subject of their verse what it will, each swain endeavours to excel the other; and one may perceive their thoughts and expressions gradually to rise upon each other." "No doubt," he adds, "the composition of this Psalm is admirable throughout; and the descriptive part of it adds at least its share of beauty to the whole; but what is most to be admired is its conciseness, and withal the expressiveness of the diction, which strikes the imagination with illimitable elegance. The weary and bewildered traveller--the miserable captive in the dungeon--the sick and dying man--the seaman foundering in a storm--are described in so affecting a manner, that they far exceed any thing of the kind, though never so much laboured."

1 An exhortation to praise God for his mercy.

5 The psalmist by his experience shews how good it is to trust in God.

19 Under the type of the psalmist the coming of Christ in his kingdom is expressed.

A.M. 2962. B.C. 1042. (Title.)This Psalm was probably composed by David after Nathan's prophetic address; and sung by alternate choirs at some public festival. It largely partakes of David's spirit, and everywhere shews the hand of a master; the style is grand and sublime; the subject noble and majestic.
