Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Psalms 107:2

The redeemed of the Lord; all they whom God hath redeemed, as it is expressed in the next clause, or delivered from all the following calamities. Say so, to wit, that the Lord is good, &c., as it is Psalms 107:1. Of the enemy; of such as had taken them captives, either in battle, or in their travels, to which they were led by their own inclinations, or by their necessary occasions.
