Psalm 106
Psalm 106 Meaning
Psalm 106 is the honest confession that runs alongside Psalm 105. It retells the same history from the angle of the people's repeated rebellion, their forgetting, their idolatry, and their grumbling.
Again and again God relented for the sake of His covenant, and the psalm ends pleading, save us and gather us, that we may give thanks to your holy name.
