F God invested the blood of His only Son purchasing you and me, the least we can do is to speak of that freely. So emphatic is the psalmist about this, that he repeats his desire verbatim four times in this one song. Psalm 107:8, 15, 21 & 31 all say the same thing, "Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!" The descriptions interspersed between these four verses all serve the same purpose, to give us evidence that we can "observe" and thereby be more fully informed (or reminded) concerning God's loving-kindness (Psalm 107:43).
We who are "the redeemed" come from every quarter of the globe. We come from hopeless backgrounds and dismal circumstances. We were formerly rebellious fools (Psalm 107:11 & 17). We were at our "wit's end" in troubles and distresses without God (Psalm 107:27). But He has saved us and blessed us abundantly. Shouldn't we therefore be willing to speak up and to speak out about His wondrous grace? "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!" (Psalm 107:2).
