Psalm 106:45, Luke 24:1-8 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 106:34-48

Here, I. The narrative concludes with an account of Israel's conduct in Canaan, which was of a piece with that in the wilderness, and God's dealings with them, wherein, as all along, both justice and mercy appeared. 1. They were very provoking to God. The miracles and mercies which settled them in Canaan made no more deep and durable impressions upon them than those which fetched them out of Egypt; for by the time they were just settled in Canaan they corrupted themselves, and forsook God.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:45

And he remembered for them his covenant ,.... At Sinai, according to Aben Ezra; rather that made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; see Psalm 105:8 , not their covenant who promised to hear and do all that the Lord commanded, and did it not; but his covenant, his promise of giving them the good land, and settling them in it: the Lord is ever mindful of the covenant of his grace for his people, for their good; he remembers the promises he has made, where they are in Christ; and so as to fulfil... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 106:45

Verse 45 45.And he remembered God’s being mindful of his covenant is here assigned as the cause of his great mercy and long-suffering. In that covenant, he not only declares that there is a gracious pardon for transgressions, but he also adverts to the perverse blindness of those who were not brought back by such remedies to the covenant, in which they were well aware that their safety was placed. But above all, he charges them with ingratitude; because, when deserving to perish, they did not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 106:1-48

The nevertheless of God's mercy. This is actually expressed in Psalms 106:44 , but it is the theme of the whole psalm. Note concerning it— I. IT IMPLIES PREVIOUS AND TERRIBLE PROVOCATION . And, indeed, there had been such: 1 . In sins actually committed. What a catalogue of them the psalm contains! Sin at the very beginning ( Psalms 106:7 ). The former psalm reviewed the history of God's people as a subject for adoring praise, because of God's never-failing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 106:6-46

The psalmist now enters on his main subject—the transgressions of Israel in the past, and God's manifold mercies vouchsafed to them. These he traces from the time of the Exodus ( Psalms 106:7 ) to that of the Babylonish captivity ( Psalms 106:46 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 106:40-46

Man's misery and God's compassion. "The design of the whole psalm is to awaken the people to a lively consciousness of the truth, that though there is much of sin in us, there is much more of grace in God;" that "where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." Suggests— I. GOD LOVES ALL HIS CREATURES , BUT HATES THEIR SINS . ( Psalms 106:40 .) That is, he makes us feel sensible that he is forever opposed to our evil conduct, and creates in us a terror of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 106:44-45

The hope of the exile. Israel in exile had no hope at all, but in the mercy and the faithfulness of her redeeming God (Le 26:41, 42). When a human soul is far away from God, and can sing no song of joy in the "strange land" of sinful alienation; when it is brought very low with a sense of Divine disapproval, and of a future which it dare not face; when it shrinks from the society of those with whom it once had sweet and sacred fellowship, and shuns the eye of human piety;—there is one... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 106:45

And he remembered for them his covenant. According to the promise in Le 26:42. And repented according to the multitude of his mercies (comp. Exodus 32:14 ; 2 Samuel 24:16 ; 1 Chronicles 21:15 ; Jeremiah 26:19 , etc.). The expression is anthropomorphic, and must be understood so as not to clash with the declaration, "God is not a man, that he should repent" ( 1 Samuel 15:29 ). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 106:45

And he remembered for them his covenant - His solemn promises made to their fathers. He remembered that covenant in their behalf; or, on account of that, he came and blessed them. He had made gracious promises to the patriarchs; he had promised to be the God of their posterity; he had his own great purposes to accomplish through their nation in the distant future; and on these accounts, he came and blessed them.And repented - He averted impending judgments. He checked and arrested the... read more
