Contextual Overview

1 Give thanks to Yahweh, For he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever. 2 Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary, 3 Gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south. 4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in. 5 Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them. 6 Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses, 7 He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city to live in. 8 Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men! 9 For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And gathered them out of the lands,.... This cannot have respect to the bringing of the children of Israel out of Egypt; for they were not then brought out of several countries, but from one land only: nor to the Babylonish captivity; for, though some might be gathered out of different provinces, yet not from east, west, north, and south, as here expressed. It best suits with the gathering of the redeemed in the effectual calling, and particularly the calling of the Gentiles in Gospel times; to which the title of the Syriac version before mentioned has respect. The elect of God are gathered in consequence of being redeemed, Zechariah 10:8, they are gathered out of the world, and from among the men of it; they are gathered to Christ, and by him; they are gathered into his churches, and to communion with them, and to a participation of all privileges and ordinances: and this is usually done by the ministering of the Gospel, which is sent into all the world for this purpose; and a distinguishing blessing of grace it is to be gathered out from the rest of the world, and favoured with such rich mercies. Such have reason to adore the grace of God, and to show forth his praise, who has called them by his grace, and separated them from others for himself.

From the east and from the west, and from the north and from the south; or, "from the sea" f; the southern sea, as the Targum; or the Red sea, the Arabian or Persian sea. The elect of God, and redeemed of the Lord, lie in all parts of the world; and from thence they are gathered by the ministry of the word unto Christ: this was fulfilled in the first times of the Gospel, and will be more so in the latter day; see

Isaiah 43:5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And gathered them out of the lands - The countries where they were scattered. In the times of the captivity the people were not all taken to one place, or did not all abide in one place. In the long exile - of seventy years - in Babylon, they would naturally be much scattered in the different provinces; and the attempt to collect them together, to restore them again to their native land, might be attended with much difficulty.

From the east ... - From all quarters; from the places where they were scattered abroad. That is, one taking his position in Babylon would see them dispersed from that place as a center into all the surrounding country.

And from the south - Margin, as in Hebrew, “from the sea.” In general, in the Old Testament, the word “sea” is used for the west, because the western boundary of the land of Palestine was the Mediterranean Sea. Compare Psalms 139:9. But the supposed position of the speaker here is “Babylon,” and on that account the south might be fitly designated by the word “sea;” as, on the south of Babylon, the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean would be soon reached.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 107:3. And gathered them out of the lands — Though many Jews returned into Jerusalem from various parts of the world, under the reigns of Darius Hystaspes, Artaxerxes, and Alexander the Great; yet this prophecy has its completion only under the Gospel, when all the ends of the earth hear the salvation of God.
