Contents Hymn 330 “To take off the yoke of pain” Chapter 332 “All I have done is sin”
Hallelujah, dear saints! Psalm 106 begins with Hallelujah and ends with Hallelujah. In Psalm 106, the psalmist wrote about Israel's unbelief in the process of Exodus and God's faithful recompense for it. The psalmist praised God's faithful miracles by comparing the unbelieving and religious acts of the Israelites.
First, the poet introduced the character of God (Psalm 106:1-33).
God is good and merciful. God has always been gracious to His people and renewed their memory. He rejoiced in the prosperity of God's chosen people, and God's kingdom and his inheritance became God's pride. God created such a good work. However, those who did not believe in God's good disposition met death in the sea, that is, the Red Sea. God led the Israelites who had stayed in the conflict at the Red Sea and taught them to sing from the other side of the Red Sea. The miracle of the Red Sea was a foreshadowing of salvation by God's love for His people. But the forces of unbelief also arose among the multitudes of the Lord's people. In other words, the people who made calves and worshiped idols in Horeb are the spirits of unbelief. They changed their glory to the image of a grass-eating ox, and they had committed an act of forgetting God the Savior, who had done great things in Egypt. Therefore, God caused the unbelievers to die in the wilderness, and he condemned all those who sacrificed in association with Baal-peor, and the lips of unbelief that they complained about at Meribah as vain human beings.
Second, the poet introduced the conclusions of those who doubted (Psalm 106:34-48).
They did not follow God's command and did not drive the Gentiles from their side. Mixing with the nations, they learned to act in turmoil, and because they worshiped idols, they suffered the wrath of God. They have even practiced lewd acts and have waged wars against Jehovah's dear people. Thus, their inner stripe came to a deathly conclusion.
Dear saint! Beside the wicked, the righteous offer their prayers of suffering to God. Their cry is a prayer to remember God's covenant. It is also a prayer to believe in the abundance of God's mercy. After all, the psalmist says that Jehovah our God saved his ancestors and made them give thanks to your name and praise your honor to this day. therefore now
