Psalm 106 is a reflection on the history of Israel and its relationship with God, encompassing both divine grace and human infidelity. The psalmist begins by exhorting the people to give thanks to God, and then summarizes the story of Israel, including Exodus, Sinai, the Journey for the Desert and the Conquest of the Promised Land, emphasizing the many times that the people have rebelled against God and its consequences. Here are five verses related to the topics covered in Psalm 106:

Psalm 106:1: "Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, for He is good; for His kindness lasts forever." This verse is an exhortation for people to praise the Lord, recognizing their goodness and mercy.

Psalm 106:6: "We have sinned, like our parents; we committed iniquity, we won." This verse recognizes the infidelity of the people of Israel and its tendency to move away from God.

Psalm 106:21-22: "They forgot about God, his Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, wonders in the land of Cam, fearsome things in the Red Sea." This verse highlights God's grace in the liberation of the people of Israel from Egypt and their faithfulness to guide them through the desert.

Psalm 106:32-33: "They also annoyed him by the waters of Meriban, and succeeded badly to Moses because of them; for they exacerbated his spirit so that he spoke recklessly to his lips."
