Commentary on Psalms 106:1

Theological / Devotional

Mercy. Heb. chesed, “divine love” (see Additional Note on Ps. 36). God’s steadfast love had prevented Israel from being utterly rejected. The complete clause “his mercy endureth for ever” is the recurrent refrain of Ps. 136. The words of Ps. 106:1 appear in David’s psalm for the ceremony of enshrining the ark in Jerusalem (1 Chron. 16:34). In the time of Christ this verse was sung as a part of the Temple festivities at the Feast of Tabernacles.
