Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 106:7-12

The Israelites did not learn from the plagues that God could and would take care of them. Consequently, when there appeared to be no escape at the Red Sea, they complained rather than trusting and waiting (Exodus 14:11-12). Nevertheless Yahweh saved them from the pursuing Egyptian soldiers for His reputation’s sake. He led them safely across and drowned Pharaoh’s soldiers (Exodus 14:26-30). This salvation moved His people to praise Him (Exodus 15). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 106:13-33

The writer did not recount Israel’s rebellions in the wilderness in strict chronological sequence. His concern was to build from less serious acts of rebellion to greater ones, evidently for the emotional effect this would produce in the reader.Psalms 106:13-15 describe the rebellion at Kibroth-hattaavah when the Israelites demanded meat and God sent them quails (Numbers 11:4-34; cf. Lot, and the Prodigal Son). Psalms 106:16-18 recall the rebellion of Dathan and Abiram against Moses (Numbers... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 106:34-46

Psalms 106:34-39 relate Israel’s unfaithfulness in the Promised Land. Rather than destroying the Canaanites and their altars, as God had commanded, the Israelites lived among these people, learned their customs, and worshipped their gods. They even participated in child sacrifice rites associated with pagan worship. These involved worshipping demons rather than the true God (cf. Deuteronomy 32:17; 1 Corinthians 10:20). Israel behaved as a harlot by being unfaithful to God.Psalms 106:40-46... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 106:47-48

3. Concluding prayer for deliverance 106:47-48This petition suggests that the psalmist lived and wrote during Israel’s Babylonian Captivity. It is a simple request for deliverance, claiming no merit to obtain this favor. The writer relied exclusively on the Lord’s covenant faithfulness and His loyal love for His people (Psalms 106:45).The last verse blesses Yahweh and calls on God’s people to praise Him. It is a fitting conclusion to Book 4 of the Psalter, as well as to Psalms 106.Prayers of... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 106:1-48

As Psalms 105 gives thanks for God’s goodness, so Psalms 106 confesses Israel’s sin and acknowledges God’s mercy, both being illustrated in an historical retrospect from the deliverance from Egypt down to the return from captivity: cp. Psalms 78; Ezekiel 20.1. See on Psalms 100:5. 7. Provoked him] RV ’were rebellious.’ So in Psalms 106:33, Psalms 106:43. 8. For his name’s sake] see Ezekiel 20:14. 26. Lifted up his hand] sware. To overthrow] RV ’that he would overthrow.’ So in Psalms 106:27. 28.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 106:6

(6) We.—Regard must be paid to the fact that the confession includes the speaker and his generation, as well as the ancestors of the race. The psalm proceeds from the period of the Captivity, when the national conscience, or at all events that of the nobler part of the nation, was thoroughly alive to the sinfulness of idolatry. read more
