In the Hebrew tradition, giving thanks was an integral part of worship, often expressed through psalms and hymns. The act of thanksgiving is not just a response to God's blessings but a recognition of His character and deeds. This call to give thanks is echoed throughout the Psalms (e.g., <a href="/psalms/100-4.htm">Psalm 100:4</a>) and is a central theme in the life of Israel, especially during festivals like Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles.<p><b>for He is good</b><br>The goodness of the LORD is a foundational attribute of God in the Hebrew Scriptures. This goodness is not merely moral perfection but encompasses His kindness, mercy, and provision for His people. The declaration of God's goodness is a recurring theme in the Psalms (e.g., <a href="/psalms/34-8.htm">Psalm 34:8</a>) and serves as a reminder of His faithfulness and trustworthiness. In the context of Israel's history, God's goodness is seen in His deliverance from Egypt, provision in the wilderness, and the establishment of the covenant.<p><b>His loving devotion endures forever</b><br>The phrase "loving devotion" translates the Hebrew word "chesed," which conveys God's steadfast love, mercy, and covenant faithfulness. This enduring love is a central theme in the Old Testament, reflecting God's unchanging commitment to His people despite their unfaithfulness. The phrase "endures forever" underscores the eternal nature of God's love, a concept that is celebrated in the refrain of <a href="/psalms/136.htm">Psalm 136</a>. This enduring love is ultimately fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ, whose sacrificial love provides eternal redemption for humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal existence and faithfulness to His promises.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/107.htm">Psalm 107</a>, traditionally attributed to King David, who calls the people to worship and gratitude.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The original audience of the Psalm, who experienced God's deliverance and are called to remember His goodness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_exodus.htm">The Exodus</a></b><br>A historical event where God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, often recalled as a demonstration of His enduring love.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_promised_land.htm">The Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, a symbol of God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises to His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_call_to_gratitude.htm">The Call to Gratitude</a></b><br>Recognize that gratitude is a fundamental response to God's character and actions.
