Psalms
Chapter
106
{A
Psalm of Praise to God (Actually this is Poetry in the Hebrew}
1a~~{Title}
Praise You . . . Jehovah/God {Jahh}
{halal - Piel - Intensive stem -
this is also the imperative mood - this is a command -
halal-Jahh is sometimes transliterated Hallelujah}..
1b
Be caused to give thanks unto Jehovah/God;
{the cause is bible doctrine resident in your soul}
for
He is {divine} good . . .
{the only 'good' that has value - anything humans
do outside of fellowship is 'human good' or 'wood
hay and stubble'
1c~~For
His mercy/'many acts of grace'/'undeserved divine favor' {checed}
'endures
forever'/'is eternal.
2a~~Who
can speak of the mighty deeds of Jehovah/God?
{the only one who can is the one who has 'divine viewpoint'
circulating in the norms and standards of his soul}
2b~~Who
can fully declare His praise?
{again the answer is only the believer with doctrine
resident in his soul}
3a~~Happiness
{'esher} . . . {belongs to} those . . .
who
keep on guarding/keeping/regarding {shamar}
{all refer to having doctrine in our souls
and guarding it}
justice/judgment
{mishpat}.
{justice in the sense of following the authority
of a bonified government - Nationalism - authority
delegated by God - also includes authority of
parents, teachers coaches, police officers, etc.}
3b~~{Happiness
belongs to those} . . .
Who
manufacture/execute
{`asah - out of existing material - doctrine in the soul}
integrity/righteousness
{ts@daqah}
at
all times.
{Verses
4-5: Prayer for the Future}
4``
Remember me, O Jehovah/God,
with
the favor/grace {ratsown}
You
bear unto Your people.
O
visit me with Your deliverance/salvation; 5``
that
I may see/perceive
the
good of Your chosen,
{the 'good' of believers is when they apply
'divine viewpoint' to experience - then God
produces divine good THROUGH believers}
that
I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
that
I myself may glory with Your inheritance.
{Israel's
Failure in the Past in All These Things}
6~~
We have sinned like our fathers {the Exodus Generation},
we
have been depraved/'committed iniquity',
{the practice of believer degeneracy}
we
have acted wickedly.
{Note:
Remember that though the Jews failed, God kept them alive anyway.
That is logistical grace and it does not relate to their sin. Moses
was the greatest bible teacher of the Old Testament, yet the Exodus
Generation rejected him and his teaching. God punished them for their
sins, but He did not immediately put them to death - logistical grace
kept them alive for 40 years in the desert.}
7a~~Our
fathers in Egypt {Exodus Generation}
did
not understood Your wonderful deeds.
7b~~They
did not remember
Your
abundant 'acts of grace'/mercies;
but
rebelled {marah} at the sea,
even
at the Red sea.
{Note:
How did they rebel? Their fear and hysteria at the on-coming
Egyptian army caused a wide emotional swing. They allowed the
emotions of their souls to over-rule the thinking part of their souls
- emotional revolt of the soul. They had doctrine. They had the
opportunity to understand. They could have trusted in God to deliver
them, but instead 'they were afraid'. Yet, as it says next . . .
nevertheless You delivered them.}
8~~Nevertheless
You delivered/saved them
for
Your Name's sake,
{God delivered them because of Who and What
He is - His Matchless Grace - NOT who and
what they were - they failed their first test under
freedom from slavery}
that
He might make known
His
mighty power.
9a~~He
{God} rebuked the Red sea . . .
and
it dried up!
9b~~He
led them through the deeps . . .
as
through a pasture land.
10a~~He
delivered them
from
the power/hand of the one
who
hated them.
{Pharaoh Amenhotep II who died
in the Red Sea}
10b~~And
redeemed them
from
the power/hand of the enemy.
{referring to the pursuing Egyptian army}
11~~Then
the waters covered their enemies . . .
not
one was left.
12~~Then
believed they His Words/Doctrine . . .
they
sang His praises.
{Note:
They had already been taught by Moses. Now they believe what was
taught! But they still did not have a frame of reference - therefore
the capacity to appreciate what had just happened! They saw divine
deliverance but soon they forgot all about it. They were operating on
emotion not doctrine in their souls.}
13a~~They
quickly forgot His works/doctrine {ma`aseh}
{they forgot the doctrine taught in His deliverance} . . .
13b~~They
did not wait for His counsel
{Note:
This is referring to waiting to see the results of 'application of
doctrine to reality'. God had great plans for the Exodus Generation
had they only listened to Him - and Moses taught them well but they
did not understand. So once the emotional high wore off . . . three
days later they were grumbling again at Meribah about the lack of
water. No patience.}
14~~But
they
'lusted
a great lust' {'avah ta'avah}
in
the desert,
and
put 'Elohiym/Godhead to a test
in
the desert.
{Note:
God tests us. We should never test/prove/try Him! But, the Jews of
the Exodus Generation did that. Prove that you love us God! They
remembered the things they had in Egypt under slavery. Security was
important to them not freedom. They wanted the meat and other details
that they had under slavery.}
15~~So
He {God}
gave
them what they wanted . . .
but
He sent 'a wasting disease'/'leanness into their soul'.
{Note:
RBT says that this last part may be an idiom referring to a 'wasting
disease'. There is a relationship between thought and the condition
of the body. With no doctrine, they were spiritually weak and would
therefore be over-come by things like stress.}
16~~They
'became jealous of'/envied Moses
in
the camp of Aaron
the
saint/'set-apart one'/'High Priest' of Jehovah/God.
{this means a sin of arrogance - from their arrogance
they were actually jealous of Moses and Aaron}
{Dathan
and Abiram}
17~~And,
the earth opened up
and
swallowed up Dathan,
and
covered the company of Abiram.
{Note:
This refers back to the Dathan and Abiram revolt. Along with Korah,
they envied the authority of Aaron and his line and God killed them all.}
18~~A
a fire grew up in their assembly;
the
flame burned up the wicked.
{250 princes were destroyed in this divine judgment}
{Now
to Idolatry - Revolt against God}
19~~They
made a calf in Horeb,
and
worshipped the molten image.
{Note:
They had no spiritual strength so had to accept a shallow,
superficial substitute.}
20~~They
changed their glory
{the glory of being the Client Nation to God -
being born-again believers and part of God's plan}
into
the image of an ox that eats grass.
21~~They
{Exodus Generation}
forgot
'El/God . . .
their
Savior/Deliverer . . .
Who
had done great things in Egypt . . . 22
Miracles/'wondrous
works'
in
the 'land of Ham' {Egypt} . . .
awesome
deeds by the Red sea . . .23
therefore
He {God} said
that
He would destroy them,
had
not Moses His chosen
stood
before Him in the breach,
to
turn away His anger/wrath,
lest
He should destroy them.
24~~Then
they despised the pleasant land,
{1 year later at Kadesh-Barnea}
because
they did not believe His Word/Doctrine.
{Note:
Means it was all emotion to them. They were believers but had no
spiritual capacity - they FEARED the giants in the land.}
25~~But
murmured/grumbled {about God}
in
their tents,
{no integrity - operation cry baby - they cried all night}
and
listened not unto the voice of Jehovah/God.
{this is 'maximum scar tissue of the soul' - after one
year of rejecting doctrine in the desert march, now they
are imitating the Pharaoh of Egypt in their souls}
26~~Therefore
He 'promised'
{idiom: literally 'lifted up His hand against'}
them
. . . that He would
cause
them to fall
in
the desert.
{this is 'maximum divine judgment' - sin unto death -
but remember as believers, they are still saved forever}
27
To overthrow their seed also among the nations,
and
to scatter them in the lands.
28
They joined themselves also unto Baal-Peor,
and
ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29
Thus they provoked Him to anger with their inventions
and
the plague broke in upon them.
30
Then stood up Phinehas,
and
executed judgment
and
so the plague was stayed.
31
And that was counted unto him for righteousness
unto
all generations forevermore.
32
They angered Him also at the waters of strife {Meribah},
so
that it went ill with Moses for their sakes.
33
Because they provoked his spirit,
so
that he spoke unadvisedly with His lips.
34
They did not destroy the nations,
concerning
whom Jehovah/God commanded them.
35
But were mingled among the heathen,
and
learned their works.
{they 'learned' their social custom of the Phallic Cult
mixture of idolatry and sex and human sacrifice}
36
And they served their idols . . .
which
were a snare unto them.
37
Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 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.
39
Thus were they defiled with their own works,
and
went a whoring with their own inventions.
40
Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah/God
kindled
against His people,
insomuch
that He abhorred His own inheritance.
41
And He gave them into the hand of the heathen;
and
those who hated them ruled over them.
42
Their enemies also oppressed them,
and
they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43
Many times did He deliver them;
but
they provoked Him with their counsel
{their own 'human viewpoint' thinking instead
of that viewpoint taught by the Word},
and
were brought low for their iniquity.
44
Nevertheless He regarded their affliction,
when
He heard their cry:
45
And He remembered for them His covenant,
and
repented according to the multitude of His mercies.
46
He made them also to be pitied
of
all those that carried them captives.
47
Save us, O Jehovah/God our 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and
gather us from among the heathen,
to
give thanks unto Your holy name,
and
to triumph in Your praise.
48
Blessed be Jehovah/God . . .
'Elohiym/Godhead
of Israel
from
everlasting to everlasting.
And
let all the people say,
Amen/'I
believe it'.
Praise
you Jehovah/God.
