How preachers through history handled this text
13 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 107, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“What surprising changes are often made in the affairs of men! Let the present desolate state of Judea, and of other countries, explain this. If we look abroad in the world, we see many greatly increase, whose beginning was small. We see many who have thus suddenly risen, as suddenly brought to nothing. Worldly wealth is uncertain; often those who are filled with it, ere they are aware, lose it again. God has many ways of making men poor. The righteous shall rejoice. It shall fully convince all those who deny the Divine Providence. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 107:33–43 (Public Domain)
