The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 106:47

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Save us, O Lord our God. Contrast with this the "remember me" of Psalms 106:4. The review of the national history has quickened the psalmist's sympathies and widened them. Previously he prayed only for himself.

Now it will not content him unless the people generally are "saved." And gather us from among the heathen. (On the wide dispersion of the Israelites at the time of the Babylonian captivity, see the comment on Psalms 106:27.

) To give thanks unto thy holy Name, and to triumph in thy praise. This is spoken of as the consequence of the gathering together. Dispersion could not, of course, prevent the rendering of praise and thanks by individual Israelites (Daniel 6:10); hut it had stopped the united liturgical expression of them.

On the restoration of the Israelites to their own land, this was resumed (Ezra 3:2-11).
