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.
