Psalm 106<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

This is considered the first of the Hallelujah Psalms because it begins and ends with hallelujah (\u05d4\u05dc\u05dc\u05d9\u05d4), which is “Praise the Lord.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The key to this passage and the other historical psalms<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> is to remember. In Psalm 105, remember because of the great things God has done; in Psalm 106, it is remembering that bad things we have done and turn from them. This psalm is a rehearsal of those things Israel did in rebellion to the good things God had done for them. Before we start pointing the finger, we need to remember that we do the same today. Think of God\u2019s grace and forgiveness; then, ponder the things that we have done that abuse that grace and forgiveness. Paul summed it up in <\/span>Romans 6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> with an emphasis on our not sinning because of God\u2019s grace.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Verses 1-3-The psalmist begins with praise and will end with praise as-well. He is calling us to observe what we have done and to pursue justice instead.<\/p>\n

Verses 4-5-These verses are likened to Luke 23.42<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> where the repentant thief asks Jesus to remember him when He enters His kingdom.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now we arrive at the reason for the repentance and petition.<\/p>\n
