Jump to Previous CountriesEastGatheredLandsMakingNorthSeaSouthTogetherWestJump to Next CountriesEastGatheredLandsMakingNorthSeaSouthTogetherWestPsalm 107 1.The psalmist exhorts the redeemed in praising God to observe his manifold providence4.Over travelers10.Over captives17.Over sick men23.Over sailors33.And in diverse varieties of life.and gathered from the landsThis phrase reflects the theme of God's redemptive work in bringing His people back from various lands. Historically, this can be seen in the context of the Babylonian exile, where the Israelites were scattered and later returned to their homeland. The gathering signifies God's faithfulness to His covenant promises, as seen in Deuteronomy 30:3-4, where God promises to restore His people from captivity. This gathering also prefigures the ultimate gathering of believers from all nations, as seen in Revelation 7:9, where a multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language stands before the throne of God. from east and west
The mention of "east and west" indicates the vastness of God's reach and the inclusivity of His salvation. In biblical geography, the east often refers to regions like Babylon and Persia, while the west could refer to areas like Egypt and the Mediterranean. This phrase emphasizes that no matter how far God's people have been scattered, His power and grace are sufficient to bring them back. It also foreshadows the global nature of the Gospel, as Jesus commands His disciples to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). from north and south
The inclusion of "north and south" completes the compass directions, symbolizing the totality of God's gathering work. The north could refer to areas like Assyria, while the south might include regions like Cush or Egypt. This comprehensive gathering is a testament to God's sovereignty over all the earth and His ability to fulfill His promises despite geographical and political barriers. It also points to the eschatological hope found inIsaiah 43:5-6, where God promises to bring His sons and daughters from the ends of the earth, highlighting the ultimate restoration and unity of His people.

Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 107
Psalm 60:7 mentions Gilead, Manasseh, Ephraim, and Judah; how do these tribal borders align (or conflict) with other historical and biblical records of Israel's territories?
What does Psalm 103:12 symbolize about forgiveness?
In Psalm 80:8-11, is there any historical or archaeological proof that Israel's borders expanded so miraculously they 'covered the mountains' and 'the mighty cedars?'
Psalm 136:19-20 records the defeat of Sihon and Og; do nonbiblical sources confirm these conquests, or could they be mythological exaggerations?(3) Gathered them.--The usual prophetic word for the Restoration. (See references in margin, and with the verse comp. Isaiah 49:12.) From the south.--See margin. The sea here can hardly be any sea but the Mediterranean, and therefore ought, according to general use (seeGenesis 12:8, &c), to stand for thewest.But as this makes the enumeration of the points of the compass imperfect, several emendations have been proposed, the best of which isyamin(the "right hand," and so "south") foryam. Or is the text right, and instead of looking for a complete compass, ought we to connect this general statement with the four tableaux of misery presently painted, and so take "out of the sea" literally in reference toPsalm 107:23-30? Verse 3. - And gathered them out of the lands (compare the prayer of Psalm 106:47; and for the expression, "the lands" - i. e. the foreign countries - see Psalm 106:27; Ezra 9:1). From the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. The present Hebrew text has מִיָּם, "from the sea" and so the LXX., ἀπὸ θαλάσσης - but it is thought that probably מִיָּם is a corruption of מִיָּמִין (Cheyne), which would mean "from the south."
