Psalm 107

All People Ought To Thank The LORD

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

Psalm 107:8, 15, 21, and 31

You will notice if you have your Bible looking at it that this verse is used four times in this Psalm. You will also notice that the King James Bible uses the word “Praise,” rather than the word “Thanks.”

According to the Strong’s Hebrew word “yadah,” and is used for the word praise here, and can mean, praise, thanksgiving, or making confession; as well as reverence for God, and so forth.

That is something every Christian should be doing is giving thanks, praise, to God and making confession to everyone how thankful we all are that God is so good, loving and kind. Also that He is holy, righteous, and just, and be awed by the truth that He loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die for us.

Thank Him. Praise Him. Confess always His goodness and His wonderful works to the children of men.

Oh That Men Would Praise The LORD

“O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever.
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; and gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses. And He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!”  Psalm 107:1-8  (KJB)

Thanking the LORD for His Goodness

Psalm 107:1-43

First we must note that the LORD is worthy of thanksgiving; who it is that ought to be thankful; and from whence the deliverance has come (vv. 1-3).

There are four groups of people which should be thankful to the LORD;

1.  THOSE WHO HAVE A LONGING SOUL (vv. 4-9);

2.  THOSE WHO ARE BOUND IN DARKNESS OF SOUL AND SPIRIT (vv. 10-16);

3.  THOSE WHO ARE FOOLISH IN THEIR INIQUITIES AND TRANSGRESSIONS (vv. 17-22);

4.  THOSE WHO ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE SEAS, AND STORMS OF LIFE (vv. 23-32).

5.  NOTE – THE WORKS OF THE LORD IN THE LIVES OF ALL OF THESE (vv. 33-43).
