The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 106:47

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

The historical portion of the psalm here ends, and the writer, in a brief epilogue, returns to the topic of prayer (see Psalms 106:4, Psalms 106:5), only substituting now for the personal supplications of the prologue, a general prayer for the entire nation, and especially for its deliverance from captivity.

"It can scarcely be doubted," as Dean Johnson well observes, "that the words of Psalms 106:47 refer to deliverance from the Babylonish captivity," which was the only one that involved the dispersion of the whole people, and the suspension of the liturgical offering of thanks and praise.
