Psalms 106:1

Joy in Forgiveness of Israel’s Sins

1 Praise¹ the Lord!
^aOh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

2 Who can¹ utter the mighty acts of the Lord?
Who can declare all His praise?

3 Blessed are those who keep justice,
And¹ he who ^adoes righteousness at ^ball times!

4 ^aRemember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people.
Oh, visit me with Your salvation,

5 That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones,
That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may glory with¹ Your inheritance.

6 ^aWe have sinned with our fathers,
We have committed iniquity,
We have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies,
^aBut rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

This Psalm gives a detailed confession of the sins of Israel in all periods of their history, with special reference to the terms of the covenant as intimated (Psalms 105:45). It is introduced by praise to God for the wonders of His mercy, and concluded by a supplication for His favor to His afflicted people, and a doxology. (Psa. 106:1-48)

Praise, etc.—(See on Psalms 104:35), begins and ends the Psalm, intimating the obligations of praise, however we sin and suffer I Chronicles 16:34-36 is the source from which the beginning and end of this Psalm are derived.
