Psalm 106:3-11 ASV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 106:1-5

We are here taught, I. To bless God (Ps. 106:1, 2): Praise you the Lord, that is, 1. Give him thanks for his goodness, the manifestation of it to us, and the many instances of it. He is good and his mercy endures for ever; let us therefore own our obligations to him and make him a return of our best affections and services. 2. Give him the glory of his greatness, his mighty acts, proofs of his almighty power, wherein he has done great things, and such as would be opposed. Who can utter these?... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 106:6-12

Here begins a penitential confession of sin, which was in a special manner seasonable now that the church was in distress; for thus we must justify God in all that he brings upon us, acknowledging that therefore he has done right, because we have done wickedly; and the remembrance of former sins, notwithstanding which God did not cast off his people, is an encouragement to us to hope that, though we are justly corrected for our sins, yet we shall not be utterly abandoned. I. God's afflicted... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:3

Blessed are they that keep judgment ,.... Or "observe" F11 שמרי "observarent", Junius & Tremellius; "observantium", Gejerus. it; the righteous judgment of God on wicked men; by which he is known in his justice, holiness, truth, and faithfulness; and by which the inhabitants of the earth observing it, learn to do righteousness, as follows: or else it may intend the word of God, his laws, statutes, and ordinances, after called his judgments, Psalm 19:9 , which should be observed... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:4

Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people ,.... The Lord has a special and peculiar people, whom he has chosen, taken into covenant, given to his Son, redeemed by him, who are called by grace, and brought to glory: to these he bears a peculiar favour, loves with an everlasting love; which he has shown in the choice of them; in the gift of his Son to them; in their regeneration, and eternal salvation. Now nothing can be more desirable than an interest in this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:5

That I may see the good of thy chosen ,.... The elect, according to the foreknowledge of God; who are chosen in Christ to holiness and happiness, through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth unto salvation by him; the vessels of mercy afore prepared unto glory, both of Jews and Gentiles. The "good" of those is not any goodness of their own, for there is none in them naturally; they are by nature no better than others, none are good, nor do good, no, not one: but the goodness... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:6

We have sinned with our fathers ,.... Sinned in their first father Adam; derived a corrupt nature from their immediate ancestors; sinned after the similitude of their transgressions; sinned after their example, in like manner as they did; guilty of the same gross enormities as they were: though sufficiently warned by the words of the prophets, and by punishments inflicted, they continued their sins, a constant series and course of them, and filled up the measure of their iniquities; they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:7

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt ,.... Or, "our fathers in Egypt" F12 אבותינו במצרים "patres nostri in Aegypto", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, &c.; ; while they were there, they did not understand, or wisely consider and attend unto, the miracles there wrought, the plagues inflicted on the Egyptians. These were done in their sight, they saw them with their eyes; yet had not hearts to perceive them, and understand the true use and design of them: not only that these... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:8

Nevertheless, he saved them for his name's sake ,.... Not for any worth or worthiness in them; not for their righteousness sake, for they were a rebellious and disobedient people; but for his name's sake, because his name was called upon them, and he was called the God of the Hebrews, as Aben Ezra observes; and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, their ancestors; to whom he had promised the land of Canaan, and was their covenant God; and because of his covenant, and of his divine... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:9

He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up ,.... By sending a strong east wind, which drove the waters back, and made the sea a dry land, Exodus 14:21 . So he led them through the depths ; that is, the deep waters of the sea, which were cast up as an heap, and stood as a wall on each side, through which they passed. As through the wilderness ; or rather, "as on a plain"; for a passage through a wilderness where no roads are, and many obstructions be, is not easy; and so it is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:10

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them ,.... As Pharaoh and his people did, because of their numerous increase, which they endeavoured to prevent; and still more because of the plagues inflicted on them; and now because they were got away from them, and therefore pursued them in great wrath and indignation, Exodus 15:9 . And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy ; the same thing in different words; so the Lord Christ has saved and redeemed his people out of the hand... read more
