(Title.)The author of this Psalm is unknown; but it was evidently written to commemorate the return of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity; and it may easily be perceived that it must have been sung in alternate parts, having a double burden, or two intercalary verses often recurring.
Bp. Lowth considers it as written "after the method of the ancient pastorals, where, be the subject of their verse what it will, each swain endeavours to excel the other; and one may perceive their thoughts and expressions gradually to rise upon each other."
"No doubt," he adds, "the composition of this Psalm is admirable throughout; and the descriptive part of it adds at least its share of beauty to the whole; but what is most to be admired is its conciseness, and withal the expressiveness of the diction, which strikes the imagination with illimitable elegance.
The weary and bewildered traveller--the miserable captive in the dungeon--the sick and dying man--the seaman foundering in a storm--are described in so affecting a manner, that they far exceed any thing of the kind, though never so much laboured."Give.

• Book 5, Series 1. The ten tribes restored. The setting of the whole book the Lord is back on earth. (““The Placement of the Psalms in Prophecy”” by B. Anstey)
• In the last Book of Psalms we find, besides many songs of praise, all the moral circumstances of Israel on their return to blessing. The first psalm in it stamps this character on it. It looks at them as gathered back, but traces the various scenes through which they might have passed, and that after their entry into the land too, and God's ways with them in them. It is a description of toils and trials, in which the Lord was looked to, and answered and interfered in behalf of the tossed and tried soul, and men are exhorted to own and praise Him. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 107-113” by J.N. Darby)
• God deals with men in soul {v.4-9}, spirit {v.10-16}, body {v.17-22}, and circumstances {v.23-32}, in order that they may find their resource in the goodness and enduring mercy of the Lord. (“Psalms 107” by H. Smith)
• The body of the psalm sets forth the various circumstances in the history of Israel, and mankind, in which the goodness of the Lord has been displayed in His ways with men. (“Psalms 107” by H. Smith)
• The fifth book of the Psalms (Ps. 107-150) opens out in full the return and restoration of the ten tribes of Israel, the putting down of their final enemies, and the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ. (“Book 5.” by B. Anstey)
• The whole position of this book views things from the standpoint of the Lord having returned and dwelling in Zion (Ps. 110:2, Ps. 125:2, Ps. 128:5, Ps. 132:13, Ps. 134:1-3, Ps. 135:21, etc.). In the fourth book the Lord is seen coming back. In the fifth book the Lord is viewed as back and His people (ten tribes particularly) returning to Him (Ps. 107:3, Ps. 114:1, Ps. 122:4, Ps. 120-134, “Songs of Degrees,” Ps. 125:2, Ps. 135:8-12, Ps. 136:10-22, Ps. 137:1, 4, Ps. 138:7, Ps. 147:2, Ps. 148:14). (“Book 5.” by B. Anstey)
• The circumstances outlined in this book occur in the interval between 1290 and 1335 days. (“Book 5.” by B. Anstey)
• Although the Lord is back in this book, Israel’s enemies are not yet fully put down. Gog (Russia) is not yet destroyed. The “head over a great country” (Ps. 110:6 JND Trans.), “all nations compassed me about” (Ps. 118:10-12), and the “violent man” (Ps.140:1, 4, 11) refer to the Assyrian which is Gog (Russia). Consequently the restored tribes of Israel are still distressed and not in the full possession of their promised land.72 But as the book draws to a close Israel’s enemies are finally put down and they are brought into full deliverance and blessing of the Kingdom. (“Book 5.” by B. Anstey)
• This psalm begins a new series. It views the tribes of Israel (particularly the ten tribes) who have been scattered among the nations being gathered back to their promised land (vs. 1-3). (“Book 5.” by B. Anstey)
