Psa. 105 has shown us what God really is like toward His people. Over and over again He told of His faithfulness to them.
V.3-25 Today we look at the other side — at the way people act. They were glad when God had acted so kindly to them, but they soon turned back to their evil ways. So here we get a brief history of the people’s thoughts and actions when they were delivered out of Egypt.
V.12 When they saw the wonderful miracle at the Red Sea, they even sang (Ex. 15).
V.13-25 It didn’t take them long to forget. They go from bad to worse. These are all very sad verses, but what a picture of all of us in our natural state.
V.26-27 God steps in with punishment. Did that turn them from their disobedience? Verse 28 answers that question.
V.30-31 Another kindness of God. Moses, in verse 23 spoke to God on their behalf. Here another faithful man shows his courage.
V.32-43 Back they go again; this time turning to idols.
V.35 shows us what mixing with worldly friends does to us (See 1 Cor. 15:33).
They began by forgetting God’s works (v. 13); and ended by sacrificing to devils (v. 37).
V.44-48 And yet God shows what HE is. Are you getting the message?
