Psalm 107
Give thanks to the Lord, for his is good; his love endures forever.
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. There he brought the hungry to live, and they founded a city where they could settle.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.
He who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste. But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks.
The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths. Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great love of the Lord.
Thanks to the God who saves
In this festival psalm, a single theme (we are beset by troubles of our own choosing or making, but God rescues us from them all) is spelt out(拼出) in four word-pictures: the traveller, the captive, the sick man the sailor.
Circumstances differ for each individual, but all share the same experience: as they cry out to God in their need, he hears and answers. All have equal cause to praise him.
God's unchanging love in dealing with his people. 'The wise' will call to mind God's 'loveing deeds' and ponder them.
Why?
Give thanks to the Lord, for his is good; his love endures forever. God loves us equally then we cry to him in our trouble.
Praise God for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men. No one beyond our God.
Wise men is he who heed these things and ponder the great love of the Lord. God made noble down and lift up the needy out of their affliction.
There is not love comes for the lucky but comes by the grace of the Lord. All of us are under affliction and iniquities.
How?
Be a wise man and always humble myself and give thanks and praise to the Lord!
