Psalms 106:6 - Exposition

We have sinned with our fathers (comp. Le 26:40; 1 Kings 8:47 ; Ezra 9:6 , Ezra 9:7 ; Nehemiah 1:6 , Nehemiah 1:7 ; Nehemiah 9:16-18 , Nehemiah 9:26 ; Daniel 9:5-8 ). We have committed iniquity; or, "dealt perversely" (Kay). We have done wickedly . The confession is as broad and general as possible, including all under sin—the "fathers" from Moses downwards, the whole nation from the time of its settlement in Canaan, and even the afflicted exiles in Babylon. Their guilt is emphaized by the use of three verbs, each more forcible than the last.
