Psalm 107

Psalm 107 Meaning

Psalm 107 gathers stories of people God rescued: wanderers in the desert, prisoners in darkness, the sick near death, and sailors in a storm. Each cried to the LORD in trouble and He delivered them.

A refrain rings through it: let them thank the LORD for His steadfast love. The wise will attend to these things and understand the steadfast love of the LORD.
