Gill's Exposition on Psalms 106:47

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 106:47
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: -Conclusion.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 106:47
Save us, O Lord our God: O thou who hast so often pardoned and saved us, notwithstanding our former and manifold provocations, be thou pleased once more to deliver us. In thy praise; in thy praiseworthy work wrought for us; praise being put for actions worthy of praise, as it is here, above, , and oft elsewhere.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 106:47
Psalms 106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.Ver. 47. Save us, O Lord our God] This is the main request of the psalm, and the chief thing intended; for for this cause prefaced the prophet, as Psalms 106:1-2, &c., and reckoned up the people’ s sins and God’ s deliverances, that he might bring in this, "Save us," as thou ever hast done. To give thanks unto thy holy name] Good ends propounded in prayer is a special means of speeding. Hypocrites do all in themselves, so do not the saints, Hosea 14:8; and all for themselves, as Zechariah 7:5 Hosea 10:1, which is not the saints’ practice, Son 5:1, they have good aims in their good actions.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 106:47
(47) Save us.—For this prayer the whole psalm has prepared the way.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 106:47
Verse 47. Save us. O Lord - and gather us] These words, says Calmet, are found in the hymn that was sung at the ceremony of bringing the ark to Jerusalem, 1 Chronicles 16:35-36; but it is supposed they were added by Ezra or some other prophet: here they are in their natural place. The author of the Psalm begs the Lord to gather the Israelites who were dispersed through different countries; for at the dedication of the second temple, under Nehemiah, (where it is probable this Psalm, with the cvth and the cviith, was sung,) there were very few Jews who had as yet returned from their captivity.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 106:47
47. This prayer is the point to which the long confession of national sin, from Psalms 106:6 onward, has been leading up. ‘We have sinned, often and grievously; we are bearing the just punishment of our sins; but we confess our guilt; Thy lovingkindness is inexhaustible, once more bring us to our own land, that we may fulfil the purpose of our calling.’ to give thanks &c.] For Jehovah’s praise is the end and object of Israel’s existence. Cp. Isaiah 43:21; Psalms 22:3, note.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 106:47
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen - From among the nations.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 106:47
47. Save us… and gather us—This was promised by Moses, when they should repent. Deuteronomy 30:3. This verse, as Delitzsch says, is the point of the psalm.
