CHAP. CVI.
1 The Psalmist exhorteth to praise God. 4 He prayeth for pardon of sinne, as God did with the fathers. 7 The storie of the peoples rebellion, and Gods mercie. 47 Hee concludeth with prayer, and praise.
1 Praise ye the Lord. O giue thankes vnto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercie endureth for euer.1
2 Who can vtter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can shew foorth all his praise?2
3 Blessed are they that keepe iudgement: and he that doeth righteousnesse at all times.
6 Wee haue sinned with our fathers: we haue committed iniquitie, we haue done wickedly.6
7 Our fathers vnderstood not thy wonders in Egypt, they remembred not the multitude of thy mercies: but prouoked him at the sea, euen at the Red-sea.7
8 Neuerthelesse hee saued them for his Names sake: that hee might make his mighty power to be knowen.
11 And the waters couered their enemies: there was not one of them left.11
12 Then beleeued they his words: they sang his praise.12
13 They soone forgate his works: they waited not for his counsell:13
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wildernes: & tempted God in the desert.14
Israels rebellion, and idolatrie.
15 And he gaue them their request: but sent leannesse into their soule.15
16 They enuied Moses also in the campe: and Aaron the Saint of the Lord.16
17 The earth opened and swallowed vp Dathan: and couered the company of Abiram.17
18 And a fire was kindled in their company: the flame burnt vp the wicked.18
19 They made a calfe in Horeb: and worshipped the molten image.19
20 Thus they changed their glory, into the similitude of an oxe that eateth grasse.
21 They forgate God their Sauiour: which had done great things in Egypt:
22 Wonderous workes in the lande of Ham: and terrible things by the red Sea.
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: to turne away his wrath, lest hee should destroy them.23
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land: they beleeued not his word:24
25 But murmured in their tents: and hearkened not vnto the voyce of the Lord.25
26 Therefore he lifted vp his hande against them: to ouerthrow them in the wildernesse:
27 To ouerthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.27
28 They ioyned themselues also vnto Baal-Peor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.28
29 Thus they prouoked him to anger with their inuentions: and the plague brake in vpon them.
30 Then stood vp Phinehas, and executed iudgement: and so the plague was stayed.30
31 And that was counted vnto him for righteousnesse: vnto all generations for euermore.
32 They angred him also at the waters of strife: so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:32
33 Because they prouoked his spirit: so that hee spake vnaduisedly with his lippes.
34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them:34
Israels rebellion, and idolatrie.
35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their workes.35
36 And they serued their idoles: which were a snare vnto them.
37 Yea they sacrificed their sonnes, and their daughters vnto deuils,
39 Thus were they defiled with their owne works: and went a whoring with their owne inuentions.
41 And he gaue them into the hand of the heathen: and they that hated them, ruled ouer them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them: and they were brought into subiection vnder their hand.
43 Many times did he deliuer them: but they prouoked him with their counsell, and were brought low for their iniquitie.43
44 Neuertheles he regarded their affliction: when he heard their crie.
45 And hee remembred for them his couenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.45
46 He made them also to be pitied, of all those that caried them captiues.
View Wesley's Notes for Psalms Chapter 106
106:4 Me - He speaks here in the name, and on the behalf of the whole nation. With - With those favours which thou dost usually and peculiarly give to thy people.
106:5 See - Enjoy. Chosen - Of thy chosen people; such as are Israelites indeed. Gladness - Such joy as thou hast formerly afforded unto thy beloved nation. Glory - That we may have occasion to glory in God's goodness towards us. Inheritance - In the congregation of thy people.
106:6 Glory - As our fathers did.
106:7 At the sea - When those wonders were but newly done, and fresh in memory.
106:8 Saved them - That he may vindicate his name from the blasphemous reproaches, which would have been cast upon it, if they had been destroyed.
106:9 Led them - As securely as if they had walked upon the dry land.
106:13 Soon - Even within three days, #Exod 15:22|,23. Waited not - They did not wait patiently upon God for supplies, in such manner and time as he thought fit.
106:14 Lusted - For flesh.
106:15 Souls - Into their bodies. So their inordinate desire of pampering their bodies, was the occasion of destroying them.
106:16 The saint - So called, because he was consecrated by God for that sacred office of the priesthood, in which respect all the priests are said to be holy, #Lev 21:6 |- 8. Hereby he intimates, that their envy and rebellion was not only against Aaron, but against God himself.
106:19 A calf - When they were but just brought out of Egypt by such wonders, and had seen the plagues of God upon the Egyptian idolaters, and when the law of God was but newly delivered to them in such a tremendous manner.
106:20 Their glory - God, who was indeed their glory. Into - Into the golden image of an ox or calf, which is so far from feeding his people, as the true God did the Israelites, that he must be fed by them.
106:23 Breach - God had made a wall about them; but they had made a breach in it by their sins, at which the Lord, who was now justly become their enemy, might enter to destroy them; which he had certainly done, if Moses by his prevailing intercession had not hindered him.
106:24 Despised - Preferring Egypt, and their former bondage, before it, #Numb 14:3|,4.
106:25 The voice - To God's command, that they should boldly enter into it.
106:26 Lifted up - He sware. Of this dreadful and irrevocable oath of God, see #Numb 14:11|,12.
106:27 Overthrow - He sware also (tho' not at the same time) that he would punish their sins, not only in their persons, but in their posterity.
106:28 Joined - They had communion with him, as God's people have with God in acts of his worship.
106:31 And - It was accepted and rewarded of God as an act of justice and piety.
106:37 Devils - They did not worship God as they pretended, but devils in their idols; for those spirits, which were supposed by the Heathen idolaters to inhabit in their images, were not good spirits, but evil spirits, or devils.
106:43 Counsel - By forsaking God's way, and following their own inventions.
106:45 Repented - Changed his course and dealing with them.
