Psalms 106:47,48 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Save us, O Lord our God O thou, who hast so often pardoned and saved us, notwithstanding our former and manifold provocations, be thou pleased again to interpose and deliver us, how unworthy soever we may be, from all our present enemies. Gather us from the heathen Restore into their own country such of us as are fallen into their hands. To give thanks unto thy holy name That they may join with us in giving thanks for thy incomparable goodness; and to triumph in thy praise In thy praiseworthy works, wrought for us: saying, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel Let the great Lord of all the world, who has been so gracious to Israel as to choose them for his own peculiar people, be most heartily praised, from everlasting to everlasting From one generation to another, as long as the world shall last, and unto all eternity. And let all the people say, Amen In token of their cheerful concurrence in all these prayers, praises, and confessions. Praise ye the Lord Hebrew, Hallelujah. By these two comprehensive words, Amen and Hallelujah, “it is very proper,” says Mr. Henry, “in religious assemblies, for the people to testify their joining with their ministers in the prayers and praises which, as their mouth, they offer up to God according to his will, saying Amen to the prayers, and Hallelujah to the praises.
