King James Translators' Notes

in families: Heb. in a house

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

6. setteth the solitary in families-literally, "settleth the lonely" (as wanderers) "at home." Though a general truth, there is perhaps allusion to the wandering and settlement of the Israelites.

rebellious dwell in a dry land-removed from all the comforts of home.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

68:1-6 None ever hardened his heart against God, and prospered. God is the joy of his people, then let them rejoice when they come before him. He who derives his being from none, but gives being to all, is engaged by promise and covenant to bless his people. He is to be praised as a God of mercy and tender compassion. He ever careth for the afflicted and oppressed: repenting sinners, who are helpless and exposed more than any fatherless children, are admitted into his family, and share all their blessings.

Psalm 107:10 There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death, Prisoners in misery and chains,

Psalm 107:14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.

Psalm 107:34 A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

Psalm 107:40 He pours contempt upon princes And makes them wander in a pathless waste.

Psalm 113:9 He makes the barren woman abide in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!

Psalm 146:7 Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free.

Acts 16:26 and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened. (NASB ©1995)
