Context of Psalms 107:41
39And they are diminished and brought low, through oppression, adversity, and sorrow: 40He poureth contempt upon nobles, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste; But he secureth the needy one on high from affliction, and maketh [him] families like flocks. 42The upright shall see it, and rejoice; and all unrighteousness shall stop its mouth. 43Whoso is wise, let him observe these things, and let them understand the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah.

Commentaries on Psalms 107:41
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 41Yet setteth he the poor on high - This probably refers to the case of the Israelites and their restoration from captivity. But these are incidents which frequently occur, and mark the superintendence of a benign Providence, and the hand of a just God; and are applicable to a multitude of cases.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction - Margin, “after.” The sense is not materially different. The idea is, that while he thus humbles princes, bringing them down from their lofty position, he has respect to the poor in their condition of suffering and trial, and raises them from that depressed state, and gives them prosperity. Thus he orders the circumstances of people, and shows his sovereignty. And maketh him families like flock - Numerous…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 33-43Verses 33-43 What surprising changes are often made in the affairs of men! Let the present desolate state of Judea, and of other countries, explain this. If we look abroad in the world, we see many greatly increase, whose beginning was small. We see many who have thus suddenly risen, as suddenly brought to nothing.

He punishes the wicked by destroying the sources of fertility, or, in mercy, gives fruitfulness to deserts, which become the homes of a busy and successful agricultural population. By a permitted misrule and tyranny, this scene of prosperity is…Read the comment
