Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble
Human affairs are not ruled by blind fortune but by God's judgments in all the changes and chances of this world. Adversity, shipwreck, famine, disease, war, marks His displeasure summoning us to account for our sins; prosperity flows from His grace so He may receive the praise due a merciful Father and impartial Judge.

Commenting on Psalm 107:1-43
The redeemed must not merely feel gratitude but declare it aloud; sing it and call others to sing. The Redeemer is glorious, the ransom price immense, the redemption complete, sevenfold obligation to give thanks. Snatched by superior power from fierce oppression, emancipated slaves owe adoration to the hand that set them free from sin, death, and hell.
AI summary
From the fountain God is good; from the streams His mercy flows forever and never fails. The redeemed, those gathered by Christ from all lands, have most reason to declare this. When trouble becomes extreme, that is man's time to cry; God's time to help. He redeems not by might or price but by the Spirit working on the hearts of men.
