Contextual Overview

23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business in great waters; 24 These see Yahweh's works, And his wonders in the deep. 25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up its waves. 26 They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble. 27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits' end. 28 Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, He brings them out of their distress. 29 He makes the storm a calm, So that its waves are still. 30 Then are they glad because it is calm, So he brings them to their desired haven. 31 Let them praise Yahweh for his lovingkindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men! 32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.

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.
