Psalm 106
Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right.
Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them, that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.
We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
But he took note of their distress when he heard their cry; for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.
Save us, Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.
The Psalm begins with praise of God's goodness and love. But from verse 6 it becomes a confession of the nation's sin, from Egypt to the psalmist's own day.
Time and again God rescues his people and almost at once they break faith with him. Now they are in exile as the psalmist cries out to God:"Save us. O Lord.'
v48:The doxology added to mark the end of the fourth book of Psalms.
Why?
Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right. Sin is people forget the goodness of God and his salvation soon.
Psalmist hope the Lord save them from exile, so they can enjoy the prosperity of the chosen ones, share in the joy of God's nation, join God's inheritance in giving praise.
God is love, his love endure forever, when we cried out to the Lord, God heard us and God remember his covenant with us.
Save us. O Lord.
How?
Act justly and always do what is right is more important than go to church to worship the Lord.
