Psalms 107:1-3 (ESV)
Book Five
Let the Redeemed of the LORD Say So
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble
and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
The book of Psalms has many praise and worship songs that belong to a corporate worship genre. Psalms 107, however, is more about individuals who have experienced something amazing at the hand of a gracious God. It begins with the above praise. Throughout the song it comes back to the truth stated at the beginning. We are to give thanks to God for His “steadfast love endures forever.” The writer repeatedly, in a variety of situations that any person of faith could experience, comes back to one solid truth: God’s steadfast love endures forever. Repetition is a great form of learning. We might face a variety of situations and circumstances as outlined in this chapter. Some might be due to our own challenges and choices of life. Some, however, might just because we are living life. The bottom line in all situation, according to this writer, is that we are learn in all situations that God’s steadfast love endures forever. That truth is written six times in this chapter. God is trying to make a point. Did you get it? God’s steadfast love endures forever.
