Ps 107:1-43.
繁體中文
Originale inglese
Ps 107:1-43.
Although the general theme of this Psalm may have been suggested by God's special favor to the Israelites in their restoration from captivity, it must be regarded as an instructive celebration of God's praise for His merciful providence to all men in their various emergencies. Of these several are given--captivity and bondage, wanderings by land and sea, and famine; some as evidences of God's displeasure, and all the deliverances as evidence of His goodness and mercy to them who humbly seek Him.

&c.).

Originale inglese
33-41. He turneth rivers into a wilderness, &c.--God's providence is illustriously displayed in His influence on two great elements of human prosperity, the earth's productiveness and the powers of government. He punishes the wicked by destroying the sources of fertility, or, in mercy, gives fruitfulness to deserts, which become the homes of a busy and successful agricultural population. By a permitted misrule and tyranny, this scene of prosperity is changed to one of adversity. He rules rulers, setting up one and putting down another.

(Job 5:16; Isa 52:15),

Ps 107:1-43.
雖然本篇整體的主題可能源自神在其子民從被擄歸回時所施的特殊恩惠，但它當被視為一篇教導性的讚美——頌揚神在其各樣急難中對萬民所施仁慈的護理。此處舉出數種急難——被擄與奴役、陸地與海上的漂泊、饑荒；有些是神不悅的明證，而一切的拯救都是祂對謙卑尋求祂之人施恩惠與憐憫的明證。
1, 2. 這感恩讚美的呼召是本篇的主題或疊句（參
Ps 107:8, 15
等）。
