INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 107 This psalm, from its style, and from its connection with the preceding psalms, seems to have been written by David. The two foregoing psalms respect the children of Israel; this is generally thought to concern all mankind, and its view to assert a general providence which attends all, in whatsoever condition and circumstance; and to encourage men in their distresses to...

Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,.... To be directed in their way, and for food and drink, as travellers do when in such distress.
