Psalms 107:2

“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, etc.] That the Lord is good, and his mercy everlasting; since their redemption is a proof of his goodness, and an instance of his mercy; this is not to be understood of the Israelites redeemed from Egyptian bondage, or from the Babylonish captivity, though they had abundant reason to say as above; but rather of all such who are delivered from any sort of slavery, bondage, and confinement; whether from the power of a disease, or from a prison, or from wicked and unreasonable men; and from captivity in an enemy’s country, where they have been used very severely; and as the providence of God is concerned in all such deliverances, thanks should be given him:…”

“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so - They are especially qualified to say so; they have special occasion to say so; they can and will appreciate this trait in his character.

It refers here not to a ransom from “sin,” but to deliverance from “danger.” The probable allusion is to the deliverance from the captivity in Babylon. Compare the notes at Isaiah 43:3. Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy - the power of the enemy. That is, He has saved them from their enemies, and has not suffered them to be destroyed by them. What is here said is true…”

“107:2 The redeemed might be all who came out of exile.”
