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 he led them forth by the right way,.... Thus God by his providence directs travellers that have lost their way, and puts them into the right way. There is no doubt a very great concern of Providence in such a case, and which ought to be acknowledged with thankfulness. And thus the Lord leads awakened and inquiring souls to the right way of salvation; to Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life; and directs and enables them to believe in him, to walk by faith, and to continue to walk in him, as they have received him; and which is a plain and straight way, in which they shall not stumble; yea, in which men, though fools, shall not err, wander, or lose themselves: and though this way is attended with many afflictions and tribulations, and so may be said to be a narrow and a rough way; yet it is a right one, and a safe one, it brings at last to eternal life: the Syriac version renders it, "by the way of truth".

That they might go to a city of habitation; a city to dwell in; the Targum is,

"to Jerusalem, a city to dwell in:''

but any city nearest for travellers is here meant; and in a spiritual sense may be intended, either Christ, the city of refuge, where awakened sinners are directed to flee to, and where they find safety and plenty of provisions; or the church of God, the strong city, about which salvation is as walls and bulwarks; and to which they come when effectually called, and become citizens of it; or the New Jerusalem church state, in which the tabernacle of God will be, and he will dwell with men, and they with him; or the ultimate glory and happiness of the saints in heaven, that city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God; in which are everlasting habitations, and mansions of peace and rest for the people of God to dwell in, after they have gone through their troublesome passage in this wilderness.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And he led them forth by the right way - A literal version, if the term necessary to express it might be allowable, would be,” He wayed them in a straight way;” he made a way for them, and that was a straight way. He conducted them in the most direct path to the land to which they were going.

That they might go to a city of habitation - A city where they might permanently dwell. The word “city” here seems to be used in the sense of “abode;” and the idea is, that he led them to a land where they might cease to be wanderers, and might find a settled home.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 107:7. That they might go to a city of habitation. — God stirred up the heart of Cyrus to give them liberty to return to their own land: and Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah, at different times, brought many of them back to Judea.
