Psalm 106-107

After I read the Psalm I thought about the other day when I asked what your favorite scripture was and many of you referenced:

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.”

Psalm 106 references 34 examples of sin, and how does God react??‭‭ He saves them for HIS name’s sake. (Verse 8) and then reverses the reason in Verse 45: for their sake he remembered His COVENANT. ❤️

I found this to be a bittersweet read recounting my own list of sins, and his patience and abounding love that keeps him slow to anger.

The next Psalm starts a new division.  Psalm 107 is the first of Book 5.  If you notice they are separated with a Doxology.  A Doxology is an expression of  Praise.  Below I will attach the Doxologies of each section if you are interested.

Psalm 107– A Psalm of Thankfulness.  This Psalm mentions 4 different times the Lord delivers his people and then this beautiful chorus that follows in verse 8,15, 21, and 31 of Thankfulness.

⁸ Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
    and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

¹⁵ Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
    and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

²¹ Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
    and his wonderful deeds for mankind.

³¹ Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
    and his wonderful deeds for mankind.

If you have ever been to a Catholic mass, something similar is repeated in chorus from the congregation.
