And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,.... Not legal sacrifices, but spiritual and evangelical ones, the sacrifices of praise and thankfulness which God has enjoined are well pleasing
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 107:22
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 107:22
Sacrifices of thanksgiving; either properly so called; or praises and thanksgivings to God, which in Scripture are called sacrifices, because they are no less acceptable to God than costly sacrifices.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 107:22
Psalms 107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.Ver. 22. And let them sacrifice, &c.] If they have escaped sickness, let them offer a passover; and if they have recovered, a thankoffering. Heathens in this case praised their Esculapius; Papists their Sebastian, Valentine, Apollonia, &c. Ears of wax they offer to the saint, who, as they suppose, cureth the ears; eyes of wax to the saint that cureth the eyes, &c. But it is Jehovah only who healeth us. And declare his works, &c.] Memorize and magnify them.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 107:22
(17-22) The sick.

And let them sacrifice] For their healing they should bring a sacrifice; and they should offer the life of the innocent animal unto God, as he has spared their lives; and let them thus confess that God has spared them when they deserved to die; and let them declare also "his works with rejoicing;" for who will not rejoice when he is delivered from death?
