Give thanks to the LORD for He is good for HIs lovingkindness is everlasting.
107:1-3 is an answer to Ps. 106:47
107:4-32 Four stanzas that follow a standard procedure. The 2 and 4 lines are refrains in this Psalm.

1. There is a statement of a specific problem (107:4-5, 10-12, 17-18, 23-27).

2.Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, He delivered them out of their distress (107:6, 13, 19, 28).

3. A specific act of deliverance from the specific problem mentioned (107:7, 14, 20, 29-30).

4. Let them give thanks to the LORD for His lovingkindnesses and for His wonders to the sons of man (107:8, 15, 21, 31).

The congregation is called to thank and praise God for His deliverances (107:9, 16, 22, 32).
“Jesus does the same kind of things that God does in the four narrative illustrations: feeding the hungry in the wilderness (Mark 6:30-44; 8:1-10; Luke 1:53), liberating those bound by demonic powers (Mark 1:21-28; 3:20-27; Luke 4:16-21), healing and forgiving the sick (Mark 2:1-12), stilling storms at sea (Matt. 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41)” McCann, 1119.

107:4-9 “Lostness, hunger, thirst and exhaustion are all figures which our Lord was to employ in relation to His self-offer as the Way, the Bread and Water of life and Giver of rest. The scene in this stanza unites all aspects of salvation and crown them with that of a city to dwell in; a climax without which the rescue, at either level of meaning, would be little more than first aid. The New Testament is full of it: cf., e.g., Eph. 2:11ff; Heb. 12:22ff; Revelation 21 and 22” Kidner, 384

Vs. 9 satisfied in the Greek is used in the feeding of the 5000 (Mark 6:42; Luke 9:17; John 6:26) and the feeding of the 4000 (Matt. 15:33, 37; Mark 8:4, 8) with John 6:35

Filled in vs. 9 is used in John 6:12 in the feeding of the 5000.

107:10-16 “Jesus applies the Isaianic passages to the his own role of setting men free from the prison house of sin (Lk. 4:18-21; Isa. 61:1-2)” Miller, 362.

Prisoners released in Acts (5:17-26; 12:1-11; 16:25-34) are a picture of those who are freed from the prison of sin.
