True revival appears to be the psalmist’s intention.
I. The Invocation (106:1-5).
II. The Identification with Israel’s Sins (106:6).
III. The Confession of Israel’s Sins (106:7-46).
IV. The Plea for Salvation (106:47).
V. The Benediction (106:48).
Psalm 106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [He is] good: for His mercy [endureth] for ever.
Psalm 106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can show forth all His praise?
Psalm 106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
Our fathers understood not Thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but provoked [Him] at the sea, [even] at the Red sea.
Psalm 106:8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that he might make His mighty power to be known.
Psalm 106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
Psalm 106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Psalm 106:32 They angered [Him] also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
“The waters of strife”. "So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes":
He was not suffered to go with them into the good land.
Though he most earnestly desired it, it could not be granted: but when he was just upon the borders of it, he is bid to go up to the mount, and take a view of it, and die.
Moses was so angry with these people that instead of speaking to the Rock, he struck the Rock. For this one act, Moses did not get to enter the Promised Land.
The Rock symbolized Jesus Christ.
The first time he struck the Rock, it symbolized the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The striking of this Rock the second time was like crucifying Christ all over again. Moses' anger at these people caused him to sin.
Psalm 106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
Psalm 106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
Psalm 106:38 And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
Psalm 106:44 Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry."
