Psalm 107:2
Let the redeemed by the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
1Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
2Let the redeemed by the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
3and gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.
Notice
“Say so” makes redemption something spoken aloud: those freed from an adversary’s hand are named by what YHWH has done for them.
