(Title.)As part of the preceding Psalm is found in 1 Ch ch. 16, so the first and two last verses of this are found in the same place; and it is highly probable this was composed upon the same occasion as the former, to which it seems to be a continuation; for as that celebrates the mercies of God to Israel, so this confesses and deplores the rebellions of Israel against Jehovah.Praise ye the Lord.

• Book 4, Series 2. Appendix Psalm. (““The Placement of the Psalms in Prophecy”” by B. Anstey)
• PSALM 106 is Israel’s praise of Jehovah for His ways in government. It traces their history under law, and shows nothing but rebellion and failure. Through it all they see His hand in perfect wisdom. In spite of their failure they are brought to the promised land and blessed there in it. (“Book 4.” by B. Anstey)
• The following psalm takes the other side of the picture and shows man's ways—that, in all the interventions of God in goodness, man, after the first gladness at being delivered, turned back to his own evil and unfaithful ways. Still His ear was ever open, He remembered His promise, repented according to the multitude of His mercies, so as to bring, finally, praise and thanksgiving to His name. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 102-106” by J.N. Darby)
• The psalm prophetically looks on to the time when Israel’s long captivity among the nations is reaching its close, and God is about to regather the nation under the reign of Christ. In that day the godly will recognize that all the blessing of the nation depends on the enduring mercy of the Lord. In the light of the goodness and mercy of the Lord the psalmist confesses the sin of God’s people: (vs. 6), owning every stage of their failure (vv. 7-46), and finally appeals to God to save and regather the nation for His own praise (vv. 47-48). (“Psalms 106” by H. Smith)
