From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Blessed be the Lord -An expression of thanksgiving for the evidence that God had heard him in his troubles, and had answered him. For he hath showed me his marvelous kindness -literally, “He has made his mercy wonderful;” that is, he has showed me such mercy as to be an object of admiration and astonishment. It was not ordinary kindness, such as is shown to people every day; it was so uncommon - so far beyond all expectation - so separate from second causes and the agency of man - so marked in its character - as to fill the mind with wonder.
