Psalms 107:33-42

From the wonders of redeeming grace upon the mighty waters, the Psalmist makes a transition to the dry and barren land of the wilderness, whence he takes occasion to set forth another striking representation of the Lord's goodness. He describes under this similitude, a barren land where no water is, and purposely made so for the wickedness of the inhabitants. Such was the plain of Jordan, where were Sodom and Gomorrah; Genesis 13:10 ; and such were the seven churches, to whom the Epistles of John were delivered, of which scarce a vestige remains. Revelation 2:3 . He next describes the visitation of God in mercy, when the Lord makes the wilderness to blossom as a rose, and draws an unanswerable argument for the righteous to mark God's gracious dealings, and rejoice, while such views must stop the mouth of iniquity.
