Contextual Overview

23 Some sailed the sea in ships. Their work carried them across the water. 24 They saw what the Lord can do. They saw the amazing things he did at sea. 25 He gave the command, and a strong wind began to blow. The waves became higher and higher. 26 The waves lifted them high into the sky and dropped them into the deep sea. The storm was so dangerous that the men lost their courage. 27 They were stumbling and falling like someone who is drunk. Their skill as sailors was useless. 28 They were in trouble, so they called to the Lord for help, and he saved them from their troubles. 29 He stopped the storm and calmed the waves. 30 The sailors were happy that the sea became calm, and he led them safely to where they wanted to go. 31 Thank the Lord for his faithful love and for the amazing things he does for people. 32 Praise God in the great assembly. Praise him when the older leaders meet together.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,.... Seafaring men particularly, before mentioned, as Jonah's mariners did, Jonah 1:16, or all the four sorts of persons instanced in, as Kimchi thinks: and even all men whatsoever should do this, high and low, rich and poor, of every age, sex, and condition; since they all receive favours from the Lord, and should return thanks to him; and especially good men, who are blessed with spiritual blessings by him: these should all

confess to the Lord his goodness; as it may be rendered,

Jonah 1:16- :, they should own the mercy received as the Lord's doing, and acknowledge their unworthiness of it, and give him the glory of it.

And for his wonderful works to the children of men! or, "confess and declare his wonderful works to the children of men": the wonderful works of creation and providence, which those that go to sea, see in the deeps, and everything of the same kind which others observe; and especially the wonderful works of grace, or what God has done in a wonderful manner for the souls of his people; see

Psalms 66:16.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Oh that men... - See Psalms 107:8, note; Psalms 107:15, note; Psalms 107:21, note. Assuredly they who are thus delivered from the dangers of the sea should praise the Lord; they who have seen the wonders of God on the great ocean should “never” forget God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 107:31. O that men — The intercalary verse, or burden, as before. See Psalms 107:8.
