Ps 106 completes a set of 4 historical songs recounting events from creation through the occupation of Canaan as occasions for worship and reflection. Ps 106 is the closing chapter of book 4 of the psalter and thus completes the second to last collection of songs in scripture's hymnal. This note of anguish under just discipline for sin and covenant faithlessness will be eclipsed by the glory of the Lord always triumphant in spite of His people's unfaithfulness. Historical Psalms are centered around eras of history that serve to illuminate the relationship of the Lord to His people. The occasion for this song would appear to be exile (47). The sins of the people have caught up with them driving them from the peace and prosperity of Canaan into the chains of their enemies – Yet if they remember the Lord, they are not without hope! The occasion for Ps 106 is certainly relevant for our day as we are experiencing forms of disciplinary judgement marked by loss of peace, liberties, social cohesion, and increasing fear on account of our unrepentant hearts indulging personal and corporate sin. Yet it nevertheless is evident that the steadfast love of the Lord is magnified by the unfaithfulness of the people. May we marvel that the grace and mercy of God is so enduring in spite of human corruption. Ps 106 is a prayer toward the house of the Lord following the instructions of Solomon pleading for restoration. May we lift our prayers and praise similarly toward Jesus Christ who came and tabernacled with us in faith that in Him remains hope for repentance, redemption, and restoration.
