Psalm 106:1

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 106:1-5

1-5 None of our sins or sufferings should prevent our ascribing glory and praise to the Lord. The more unworthy we are, the more is his kindness to be admired. And those who depend on the Redeemer's righteousness will endeavour to copy his example, and by word and deed to show forth his praise. God's people have reason to be cheerful people; and need not envy the children of men their pleasure or pride. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 106:1-48

God's Blessings in Spite of Israel's Unfaithfulness. This psalm, whose author is not known, gives a detailed confession of the sins of Israel, as contrasted with the wonders of God's mercy, the conclusion being a supplication for God's favor. v. 1. Praise ye the Lord, for the attitude of praise should characterize the believers at all times. O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good, He has revealed himself to men in the beauty of His goodness; for His mercy endureth forever, the hand of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 106:1-15

Unfailing Loving-Kindness Psalms 106:1-15 Who can utter? That is an unanswered question. Not even the leader of the heavenly choir can answer it. But what blessedness it brings to the heart of one who begins to recite the goodness and loving-kindness of God! When prayer goes heavily, begin to praise. The theme of this psalm is God’s redeeming grace. It contains a gruesome catalogue of sin. We have sinned… we have committed iniquity… our fathers understood not… they remembered not… but... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 106:1-48

The previous psalm called the people to talk of the “marvellous works” of Jehovah. This one calls to praise, and the reason is that “His mercy endureth for ever.” This fact is then illustrated by a declaration of how the people of God have persistently sinned against Him, and how He has patiently borne with them, restoring them constantly to Himself. The first section (vv. Psa 106:1-31 ) deals with the history of the people from Egypt, and in the wilderness. The description of what happened... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 106:1-48

INTRODUCTION“This it the first of a series of Hallelujah Psalms: Psalms of which the word Hallelujah is, as it were, the inscription (106, 111–113, 117, 135, 146–150.). As in the last Psalm, so here the history of Israel is recapitulated. In that it was turned into a thanksgiving; in this it forms the burden of a confession. There God’s mighty acts for His people were celebrated with joy; here His people’s Bin is humbly and sorrowfully acknowledged. Nothing is more remarkable in these great... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 106:1-48

This also is a Psalm of David, and is cited in 1 Chronicles 16:0., although the first and the two last verses only are there given. The subject is similar to that of the preseding psalm; and it was probably one of those psalms which the Jews adapted and sung on their return from Babylon. Psalms 106:4-5 . Remember me. Nearly all the Versions employ the plural pronoun in these verses. Remember us visit us that we may see, &c. Psalms 106:20 . Thus they changed their glory. An... read more
