Oh that men would praise the LORDfor his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
The call is for men to praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works and care done for humanity. The goodness to be praised is His mercy and love and loving-kindness shown in His works for humanity. It belongs to the account of Israel's history given in Psalm 107, and study of that history helps to appreciate God's goodness and mercy and love.
The praise expresses gratitude for calm and safe passage into the desired haven and for the care and comfort received along the way. Safe passage across the ocean prompts a gathering together to thank God for His loving-kindness and protection through the long voyage.
