Psalms 106 Summary

The psalmist rehearses Israel's history of sin and God's repeated deliverance: their fathers sinned, provoked God at the Red Sea, then believed and sang His praise but soon forgot His works. They lusted in the wilderness, made a calf and worshipped a molten image, and despised the pleasant land. Through their repeated transgressions, God sent plagues, yet when they repented and cried out, He saved them. Though they mixed among the nations and learned their wicked ways, serving idols and shedding innocent blood, God remembered His covenant and showed mercy, making their enemies pity them.
