Let them give thanks to the LORD
This phrase emphasizes the importance of gratitude towards God, a recurring theme throughout the Psalms. The act of giving thanks is not just a verbal expression but a heart posture acknowledging God's sovereignty and goodness. In the Old Testament, thanksgiving was often expressed through sacrifices and offerings (Leviticus 7:12-15). The call to give thanks is a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people, where gratitude is a response to His faithfulness and provision.

for His loving devotion
The term "loving devotion" is often translated from the Hebrew word "chesed," which encompasses God's steadfast love, mercy, and covenant faithfulness. This concept is central to understanding God's character in the Old Testament. It reflects His unwavering commitment to His people despite their failures. This loving devotion is seen in God's promises to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3) and His enduring patience with Israel throughout their history. It is a precursor to the New Testament revelation of God's love through Jesus Christ (John 3:16).

and His wonders
The "wonders" refer to the miraculous acts of God that demonstrate His power and authority over creation. In the context of the Psalms, these wonders often recall the mighty deeds God performed for Israel, such as the parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-22) and the provision of manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16:4-5). These acts serve as tangible evidence of God's intervention in human history and His ability to deliver and sustain His people. They foreshadow the ultimate wonder of Christ's resurrection, which confirms His victory over sin and death.

to the sons of men
This phrase indicates the universal scope of God's actions and His concern for all humanity, not just Israel. It highlights the inclusivity of God's blessings and His desire for all people to recognize His sovereignty. The "sons of men" can be seen as a reference to humanity's collective need for God's grace and intervention. This universality is echoed in the New Testament, where the gospel is extended to all nations (Matthew 28:19-20), fulfilling God's promise to bless all families of the earth through Abraham's seed (Genesis 22:18).

Teaching Points
Gratitude as a Response to God's Love
Recognize that our gratitude should be a natural response to God's loving devotion. Reflect on how His love has been evident in your life.

Acknowledging God's Wonders
Take time to identify and acknowledge the wonders God has performed in your life and in the world around you. This recognition fuels a heart of thanksgiving.

The Universality of God's Care
Understand that God's loving devotion and wonders are extended to all humanity. This should inspire us to share His love with others.

Cultivating a Thankful Heart
Develop a habit of daily thanksgiving, focusing on God's attributes and actions. This practice can transform your perspective and attitude.

Living Out Gratitude
Let your gratitude to God be evident in your actions and interactions with others. Consider how you can express thankfulness in practical ways.(15) Oh that . . .--The subject is the participle in Psalm 107:10, "such as sit," a fact which bears upon the proper subject in Psalm 107:8.

Verse 15. - Oh that men, etc.! A repetition of ver. 8.
