Psalms 106:1

PSALM 106 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm was unquestionably composed in the time of the Israelites captivity and dispersion, as is manifest from Psalms 106:47, but whether it was that of Babylon, or some other of a later date, is neither easy nor necessary to determine. The psalmist exhorteth to praise God, Psalms 106:1; prayeth for the remission of his sin, Psalms 106:4. The story of the Israelites rebellion, and of God's mercy, in their journey from Egypt to Canaan, rehearsed, Psalms 106:7; concluding with prayer and praise unto the Lord, Psalms 106:47,48. He deserves our praises, notwithstanding all our sufferings, which are not to be imputed to him, for he is gracious and merciful, but only to our own sins.
