O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

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
O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good. It is all we can give Him, and the least we can give; therefore let us render it with all fervor, both in our lips and in our lives. His goodness is not transient but eternal mercy, without beginning and without end, and has adapted itself to our fallen nature; let us never be slack in praising it.

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.
