Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:15

Psalms 106:15 It is an awful circumstance, and yet it is true, that our mercies may be our curses; that our desire may prove our ruin. The man, you will say, who has obtained the object of his desire, whether through prayer or toil, ought to be happy. He sows, and reaps abundantly; he casts his nets into the sea, and brings them up full of fish; all his bargains end in gain: he might have in his possession the philosopher's stone, which turns all it touches into gold. But there is a dark... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 106:1-48

Psalms 106:1-48 :Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise? Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. Remember me, O LORD, with the favor that you bear unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine... 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

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 106:13-15

Psalms 106:13-15They soon forgat His works. God’s praises sung; His works forgottenThe conduct of the Israelites, as here described, affords a striking exemplification of that spurious gratitude, which often bursts forth in a sudden flash, when dreaded evils are averted, or unexpected favours bestowed; but expires with the occasion that gave it birth; a gratitude resembling the joy excited in an infant’s breast by the gift of some glittering toy, which is received with rapture, and pleases for... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 106:13

Psa 106:13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: Ver. 13. They soon forgat his works ] Heb. They made haste, they forgat. This is an aggravating circumstance. See Gal 1:6 Exo 32:8 Deuteronomy 9:16 . They waited not for his counsel ] For the performance of what he had purposed and promised; they were short-spirited and impatient. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 106:14

Psa 106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. Ver. 14. But lusted exceedingly ] Heb. lusted a lust. See Numbers 11:1-35 , they had a sufficiency, but must have superfluities, as belly-gods; not want, but wantonness, set them a lusting, and that in the wilderness, where they knew that in an ordinary way it was not to be had. And tempted God ] Whom they should have trusted rather, since he waiteth to be gracious, and being a God of judgment, knoweth best... read more

Psa 106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. Ver. 15. And he gave them their request ] Deus saepe dat iratus quod negat propitius (Aug.). Munera magna quidem misit, sed misit in hamo (Martial). Quails they had, but to choke them; as afterwards a king, but to vex them, &c. But sent leanness into their soul ] i.e. Into their bodies, such a loathing as caused leanness, Numbers 11:20 , a plague upon their bodies, a curse upon their souls. Many men eat that... read more

he gave: Psalms 78:29-Obadiah :, Numbers 11:31-Nahum :, Isaiah 10:16, Isaiah 24:16 but sent: They despised the manna, calling it light or innutritive food. God gave them flesh as they desired, but no blessing accompanied it; and, in consequence, they did not fatten, but grew lean upon it; and many, surfeited by excess, died of disease. Instead of razon, "leanness," however, Bp. Lowth supposes we should read zeraon, "nausea or loathing," which appears to be supported by several ancient... read more
