Contextual Overview

10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: 12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. 13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. 15 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

O that men would praise the Lord for his goodness,.... Or, "confess to the Lord his goodness or grace", or "mercy" g; own and acknowledge it, in delivering them from such a state of darkness and death, of thraldom and captivity; see Romans 6:17.

And for his wonderful works to the children of men! or, "confess" them before them; relate and declare them to them, what wonderful things he has done for them; that they may be affected with them, and that they may praise his name together; Romans 6:17- :.

g So Pagninus, Montanus, Cocceius, Michaelis.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Oh that men would praise ... - See the notes at Psalms 107:8. The idea here is that the things just referred to “should” call forth expressions of gratitude to God. The immediate reference is to those who had partaken of these proofs of the divine goodness, but still the language is so general as to be applicable to all classes of people.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 107:15. O that men, &c. — This is the intercalary verse, or burden, of the second part, as it was of the first. See Psalms 107:8.
