Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:1-48

Psalms 106:0 Israel’s faithlessness to GodLike the previous psalm, this psalm recounts the history of Israel. But whereas Psalms 105:0 emphasized God’s faithfulness, Psalms 106:0 emphasizes Israel’s unfaithfulness and the punishments it suffered as a result.Since God is good, people should praise and obey him. Then they will enjoy, as individuals and as a nation, the full blessings God desires for them (1-5). The psalmist admits, however, that he and those of his generation have sinned as did... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 106:24

SIN NO. 5This sin was the rebellion of Israel following the shameful report of the ten unfaithful spies (Numbers 13-14)."Yea, they despised the pleasant land,They believed not his word.But murmured in their tents,And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.Therefore he sware unto them,That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations,And scatter them in the lands.""They despised the pleasant land" (Psalms 106:24). The last half of Numbers... read more

24-27. The sin of refusing to invade Canaan, "the pleasant land" (Jeremiah 3:19; Ezekiel 20:6; Daniel 8:9), "the land of beauty," was punished by the destruction of that generation (Numbers 14:28), and the threat of dispersion (Deuteronomy 4:25; Deuteronomy 28:32) afterwards made to their posterity, and fulfilled in the great calamities now bewailed, may have also been then added. despised— (Deuteronomy 28:32- :). believed not his word—by which He promised He would give them the land; but... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 106:1-48

Psalms 106This psalm recalls Israel’s unfaithfulness to God, whereas Psalms 105 stressed God’s faithfulness to the nation. Even though God’s people proved unfaithful to Him, He remained faithful to them because of His covenant promises (cf. 1 Chronicles 16:34-36; Nehemiah 9; Isaiah 63:7 to Isaiah 64:12; Daniel 9; 2 Timothy 2:13). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 106:13-33

The writer did not recount Israel’s rebellions in the wilderness in strict chronological sequence. His concern was to build from less serious acts of rebellion to greater ones, evidently for the emotional effect this would produce in the reader.Psalms 106:13-15 describe the rebellion at Kibroth-hattaavah when the Israelites demanded meat and God sent them quails (Numbers 11:4-34; cf. Lot, and the Prodigal Son). Psalms 106:16-18 recall the rebellion of Dathan and Abiram against Moses (Numbers... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 106:1-48

As Psalms 105 gives thanks for God’s goodness, so Psalms 106 confesses Israel’s sin and acknowledges God’s mercy, both being illustrated in an historical retrospect from the deliverance from Egypt down to the return from captivity: cp. Psalms 78; Ezekiel 20.1. See on Psalms 100:5. 7. Provoked him] RV ’were rebellious.’ So in Psalms 106:33, Psalms 106:43. 8. For his name’s sake] see Ezekiel 20:14. 26. Lifted up his hand] sware.

The Biography of a Soul Psalms 106:12-14 I. They believed His words. I venture to say there is not a soul who cannot recall, at least once or twice, such hours of vivid deliverance, when God's power thrust itself into your life and made clear your path before you. It may require perhaps a certain effort on your part to remember just at once such times of Divine interposition, but they are there none the less. They come in different ways. ( a ) Perhaps it was that day when some one dearer to... read more
