Interpretation of Psalm 106
Book V (Psalms 106-150)
Of these 44 psalms, 15 belong to David (107-109; 123; 130; 132; 137-144), one was written by King Solomon (Ps. 126), the remaining 28 are anonymous.
This psalm is a call to praise the Lord, addressed to the delivered and delivered by Him not only "from the hand of the enemy" (verse 2), but also from many other painful circumstances that are listed in the course of the psalm. In the same (or very similar) phrases (verses 6, 13, 19, 28) it is emphasized that God delivered the Jews every time they called on Him for help.
Ps. 106:1-3. Judging by verses 2-3, this psalm, whose author is unknown, was created shortly after the return of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity (obviously, even before the construction of the 2nd temple, which is not mentioned here).
In verse 3 - a symbolic indication (from the east and west, from the north to the deliverance of the Jews from the countries of their dispersion, from where they were again gathered to Palestine. From pestilence in this verse, obviously, implies their first exodus - from Egypt, their crossing of the Red Sea .
Ps. 106:4-9. A figurative description of Israel's wandering in the wilderness and deliverance by the Lord, Who, in the end, satiated the thirsty soul, and filled the hungry soul with good things.
Ps. 106:10-16. Here is about the liberation of the captives bound by grief and iron. The reason for their evil fate until the moment of release is stated in verse 11. It is suggested in the Hebrew Khartoum that Ps. 106:10-16 refers to the capture by the Babylonians of the Jewish king Zedekiah and his associates. (The old word verei is used here to mean "bars" or "bars".)
Ps. 106:17-22. It is believed that these verses refer to the healing of "reckless sinners" stricken with a serious illness. They were already approaching the gates of death (verse 18). But they cried to the Lord... and He saved them... (verse 19). Isn't that a reason to praise Him! (verses 21-22).
Ps. 106:23-32. The psalmist describes the rescue of sailors from a terrible storm. ("Those who do business in high waters" (v. 23) are understood by some as seafaring merchants.) Having lost all hope of salvation, they cried to the Lord in their distress, and He brought them out of their distress. It is easy to see that this phrase, with slight modifications, sounds like a refrain throughout Psalm 106.
Ps. 106:33-38. If until now the psalmist spoke of the deliverance of the Lord from disasters (those who cry out to Him) as a reason to glorify Him, now he names another reason for this: His guardianship of the world, wise management of it.
Great is the power of the Lord over nature. A colorful illustration of this is in verses 33-38. For the wickedness of those who live on earth, He is able to turn fertile soil into saline soil (compare Deut. 29:23-28), and dry up springs of water. But the desert, on the other hand, turns at the will of Her into the earth, abundantly moistened with water and giving excellent harvests. And he settles the hungry there, and this land is settled, blessed by God (verses 36-38).
Ps. 106:39-43. Evidently, verse 39 implies a connection between the prosperity of a people and its moral and spiritual condition. As he, living well, falls into pride and loses the feeling of his dependence on God, oppression, disasters and sorrows are allowed to him. His "princes" suffer dishonor (verse 40); the second part of verse 40 can be understood both literally and figuratively.
The "poor" in verse 41 and the righteous in verse 42 seem to reflect the same concept: a humble, obedient people; such He rescues from distress, blesses with multiplication of offspring. A wise man, the psalmist notes in verse 43, cannot fail to notice this pattern.
This entire psalm is a song of thanksgiving to the Lord for bringing the Jews out of the dispersion among all nations (Ps. 106_3). The circumstances under which it was written are indicated in Ps. 106_36-38 v. The Jews were preoccupied with the restoration of destroyed cities, the cultivation of vineyards, the sowing of fields, and received a rich harvest from their labors. In the whole psalm one does not see disappointment or sorrowful feeling, nor does it speak of the construction of the temple and the obstacles in this matter. From this we can conclude that the psalm was written upon returning from the Babylonian captivity even before the time of the construction of the second temple, when the intrigues of the Samaritans and some discords in the inner life of the Jews themselves did not have time to be revealed. The name of the writer is unknown.
In the psalm, the laudatory appeal to God, repeated four times, divides the entire psalm into five parts Ps.106_2-7; Ps.106_9-14; Ps.106_16-20; Ps.106_23-30; Ps.106_33-43.
Let those who are delivered from the enemy and gathered from all the countries of the world praise the Lord! There they suffered all sorts of hardships, but the Lord heard their call and led them to the place of settlement (2-7). Because they did not submit to the Lord, He humbled them with disasters, and after turning to Him, brought them out of their bonds (9-14). The severity of the disaster was such that it threatened them with complete destruction, but repentance before God saved them (16-20). Being a prisoner was like sailors during a storm, when the waves threaten to sink the ship and kill everyone on it. By the will and mercy of the Lord, the storm falls silent and they land at the desired place (23-30). Formerly turned into a desert and devastated, now the country is again populated, built up with cities, fields and vineyards are cultivated, bringing an extensive harvest. Its inhabitants multiply, and their former enslavers perish. At the sight of such a fate, the righteous rejoices, and the wicked stops his mouth; every wise man sees this and understands the mercy of the Lord (33-43).
. and gathered from the countries, from the east and the west, from the north and the sea.
By "sea" is here meant the Red Sea, through which the Jews passed after leaving Egypt. Throughout the verse, four cardinal points are indicated to designate all the places of Israel's scattering, from which they are gathered again to Palestine.
. They wandered in the desert along a deserted path and did not find a populated city;
The picture of the wandering of the Jews in the desert offered here must be understood as an image of the oppressed moral state of the Jews in captivity, from which they aspired to their native Palestine in the same way as a traveler from the desert to inhabited places. - “We didn’t find a populated city”- more precisely, it can be conveyed - they did not find and did not look for a place for a permanent settlement, since from the prophecies they knew that captivity was not eternal, as well as the dependent situation of life on the rulers of the pagans and being among the pagans aroused a thirst for the restoration of the former independence and independent life as in a religious , so in civil and political relations, which they lost along with the news from their native land. In such a situation in captivity and mood, it was not the Babylonian plains that attracted and attached to themselves, but the mountains of Palestine.
. and led them by a straight path, that they might go to the inhabited city.
The Lord gave the Jews a direct way to return to their homeland with the accession of Cyrus, who allowed and facilitated the return of the Jews to Palestine.
. for He satisfied the thirsty soul and filled the hungry soul with good things.
The joyful feeling of returning to one's homeland is compared with the feeling of satisfaction of those who are thirsty for their thirst and hungry for their hunger.
. But they cried to the Lord in their sorrow, and He saved them from their calamities;
. sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their graves.
Being in captivity is compared with imprisonment in a gloomy prison, where prisoners are condemned to die if they were not saved by the "word of the Lord", that is, the promise given to the Jewish people, according to which the Lord promised to return him from captivity if he repented, that He The Jews, of course, could not count on their own efforts to regain their lost independence due to their small number, disorganization and impotence.
. Those who go to sea in ships, doing business in high waters,
. see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep:
. He speaks, and a stormy wind arises and lifts its waves high:
. ascend to heaven, descend to the abyss; their soul melts in distress;
. they twirl and stagger like drunkards, and all their wisdom vanishes.
. But they cried out to the Lord in their sorrow, and He brought them out of their distress.
. He turns the storm into silence, and the waves fall silent.
. And they rejoice that they have subsided, and He leads them to the desired pier.
The lack of rights of the captive Jews and the insecurity of existence and life, left to the capricious willfulness of the Eastern pagan rulers, who were not accustomed to reckon with the needs and needs of their subjects, especially captives, likened the Jews to sailors on ships traveling in a storm on an agitated sea, when each shaft of the latter could easily and threatened sink their weak ship. But the Lord rescued them from this abyss and delivered them safely to the desired harbor, to Palestine.
. He turns the rivers into a desert and the fountains of waters into dry land,
. fertile land into salty soil, for the wickedness of those who dwell on it.
A picture of the state of Palestine devastated by wars and enemies. According to the customs of warfare in ancient world the whole enemy country with its springs, fields, forests, wells, and not just the warriors alone, were devastated, and therefore, where life used to boil, there were cultivated fields and springs, after the attack of enemies, a desert appeared that had neither springs nor wells , cultivated plants, without human support, died, and solonchaks grew, etc.
. He turns the desert into a lake, and the dry land into springs of water;
. and settles the hungry there, and they build a city to dwell in;
. they sow fields, plant vineyards, which bring them abundant fruit.
. He blesses them, and they multiply greatly, and the cattle does not detract from them.
Quite the opposite is happening now, when the former owners have settled here and have begun to cultivate the abandoned fields with love and perseverance: Palestine has blossomed again and the Lord has rewarded the workers with a bountiful harvest.
. Whoever is wise will notice this and understand the mercy of the Lord.
The former enslavers, that is, the Babylonians perish, and the righteous, that is, the Jewish people, are restored. In this whole story of captivity and exile from captivity, the hand of the Lord, patronizing the pious, is clearly visible, therefore, when observing the course historical events both from the life of the Jews and modern pagan monarchies, the righteous rejoices, and the wicked is silent, and whoever is wise cannot fail to see manifestations of Divine mercy here.

106 Psalm of David verses 1-21 - explanation (Video)
Psalm 106
With this psalm, the fifth book of psalms begins among the Jews.
Psalm 104 - Glory for salvation from the slavery of Egypt.
Psalm 105 - Glory for salvation in the wilderness
Psalm 106 - Glory for all God's salvation. And in this psalm there is a mention of both Egypt and the desert.
These three psalms begin with the same words Praise the Lord!
The difference is that in this psalm, the Hebrew text adds the word Hallelujah, which is like an inscription. And in Psalm 104, instead of words for He is good after the words " Praise the Lord" the words go call upon his name; proclaim his works among the nations.".
For deliverance and salvation, a person in the time of the temple had to offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving.
It was necessary to make a thanksgiving sacrifice in the following way: the donor brought an ox, a sheep or a goat to the temple courtyard, where the animal was slaughtered and the altar was sprinkled with its blood. By laying hands on the head of the victim, the donor, instead of the usual formula of repentance - confession of sins, pronounced in case of sin, gave praise to God.
In addition to the animal, he brought sacrificial loaves in the form of challah. There were forty halals: thirty out of three different types unleavened dough and ten - from yeast.
After the destruction of the temple, instead of making a thanksgiving offering, in the Jewish tradition, a person reads a special thanksgiving blessing - BIRKAT A-GOMEL.
Rav Yehuda said, Rav said: four should give thanks (Blessing God for deliverance from mortal danger)
1 . Walking through the desert, (dangerous journey) - (war) (verses 4-8)
2 . Out of prison, (oppression and danger from other people) (verses 10-15)
3 . Healed from illness. (verses 17-21)
4 . Seafarers, (flying on airplanes). (verses 23-31) (BT Berachot 54b.)
Sha gives siman = the rule of remembering these deliverances:
חולה - CHOLE = sick
יסורים - YISURIM = suffering corresponding to prison
ים - YAM (YAM) = sea
מדבר - MIDBAR = desert
The initial letters in the Hebrew spelling form the acrostic חיים - CHAIM = LIFE.
You can add a fifth:
5 . Returned from the war, and who got rid of the oppressor. (verse 2). But according to Sha, the word YISURIM = suffering can well be attributed to deliverance from those who cause this suffering, and if not by prison, then by any oppression. As if in this kind of those delivered by YISURIM, those who were delivered from the oppression of enemies, from war with them, and from their captivity can enter. Therefore, it is still more appropriate to speak, as the tradition of the Jews says, precisely about the four types of the delivered, because in this psalm the call to praise God is repeated four times. As if from the four kinds of delivered.
BIRKAT A-GOMEL How do they bless? Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Doer of good mercies .
Hearers answer:
May He who has treated you in a good way always grant you every good. Sala.
And about r. Yehuda is told. He fell ill and was healed. They came to him and said: Blessed be the Merciful, who gave you to us, and did not give you to the earth!
In addition, the psalm speaks of those who formerly prospered, but God led them to misfortune, as well as those who formerly were in poverty, but God exalted them and saved them from evil, and endowed them with great blessings. This aims to teach that everything is from the hand of God: both misfortune and good. (Radak)
In the same psalm one can see messianic aspect the salvation of the perishing. And this psalm is appropriate as thanksgiving to God through His Son, Jesus Christ. As the apostle thanked God:
25 I thank my God Jesus Christ, our Lord. (Rom. 7:25).
And he commanded us:
Always give thanks to God for everythingand the Fatherin the name ofOur LordJesus Christ.
(Eph.5:20)
And we, yes Thank Godourthrough Jesus Christ(Rom.1:8)(PV)
106:1 Praise the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever!

The same verse as at the beginning of Psalm 105. Praise the Lord!
Let us glorify God the Merciful and Good! As we glorify, with the words of the words of the first two verses:
Blessed be the Good God, who pours out goodness and has mercy graciously, and delivers from the hand of the enemy!(PV)

In the fourth type of the delivered, we will also include those who returned alive from the war ( delivered from the hand of the enemy), and those who got rid of the oppressor. TSAR - the same as TSAR = oppression, trouble. As in the 26th psalm, the word TSARAY = oppressors. This occasion of thanksgiving for deliverance from mortal danger is appropriate for those who escaped from enemies and oppressors, as well as those who survived in the war. As already mentioned, this type of redeemed can be attributed to YISURIM = suffering (in prison and captivity), but the second option, if you follow the Jewish siman of the acrostic CHAI M\u003d life, then the last letter is "mem", denoting M IDBAR = desert, can mean, in my opinion, and מ לחמה - M ILHAMA = war. (PV)
Those who are redeemed by the Lord will say- Doxology will be said by those who recognize that their salvation is from the Lord. (Rashi)
IN messianic sense those who know the salvation of Christ. (PV)

Messianic aspect: The pagans did not know the One Creator God. They did not know His Word, and lived according to pagan customs. This wandering in darkness along one's own paths of wickedness was outside the city of Glory, where the Heavenly Father's dwelling place is the Heavenly Jerusalem. (PV)
We all wanderedlike sheep,each turned to his own way: and the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. (Isaiah 53:6)

רְעֵבִים גַּם־צְמֵאִים נַפְשָׁם בָּהֶם תִּתְעַטָּף׃ |
Literally: In the wilderness, God fed the hungry people with heavenly bread = MAN. And he fed them for forty years until that day, until they entered the land of promise. And the fountain of water (the well of Miriam) began to gush forth streams of water where Israel had encamped in the wilderness (WT).
Messianic aspect: The word of God is revealed to the nations through the Savior. Torah = the teaching of God, in the scripture itself has the image of bread and living water (wine). Those who assimilate this Word are not hungry or thirsty. And the bread of heaven is not only the Torah of the Messiah, but also the King Mashiach Himself, the Savior of the world.
31 Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father gives you true bread from heaven.”
33 Forthe bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.
34 They said to him, Lord! give us always such bread.
35 Jesus said to them:I am the bread of life; He who comes to Me will never hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.
48 I am the bread of life.
49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness and died;
50 But the bread that comes down from heaven is such that whoever eats it will not die.
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever;but the bread that I will give is my fleshwhich I will give for the life of the world.
52 Then the Jews began to argue among themselves, saying, How can he give us his flesh to eat?
53 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you,unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink..
56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live by the Father, [so] the one who eats me will live by me.
58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers ate manna and died:Whoever eats this bread will live forever. (John 6:48-58)
The Body and Blood of Christ satisfies the hunger and thirst of faithful souls (Gregory of Nyssa).

Literally: And they cried out to the Lord in their oppression- BATSAR, as BATSAR = in oppression. (Radak)
A cry to God delivers from the sentence of judgment. R said. Yitzhak: There are four ways to cancel the sentence of the Heavenly Court passed on a person. Here they are: Almsgiving, prayer, name change, correction of deeds - repentance .... Prayer as written: "ANDthey criedto the Lord in affliction... and delivered"(Bavli Rosh Hashanah 16b)
This verse is repeated four times in this psalm. He shows that the cry, call to God brings deliverance to a person who is in the dangers mentioned above. (PV)
The four repetitions of verses 6,13,19,28 are the same except for the words that describe God's help.
In verse 6 - YATZILEM = delivered them.
In verses 13 and 19 - YOSHIEM = saved them.
In verse 28 - YOTZIEM = brought them out.(PV).

Literally: But in order to accept salvation and not return to the former disastrous state, you need to trust in the guiding God. He leads direct way truth. As soon as a person lets go of the hand of God, he immediately begins to walk his disastrous paths.
8 I will make you understand,I will guide you on the pathon which you should go;I will guide youMy eye is on you." (Ps. 31:8)
20 My son! keep the commandment of your father (God) and do not reject the instructions of your mother(churches);
21 Bind them forever on your heart, bind them around your neck.
22 When you go, they will guide you; (Prov. 6:20-22)
7 The way of the righteous is straight;You level the pathrighteous. (Isaiah 26:7,8)
Messianic aspect: Direct path leading to a populated city- the way of the gospel. City populated- the abodes of the Heavenly Father - the Heavenly City of Jerusalem - Angels live there. (PV).

Literally : Saturation everything necessary for life
Messianic and Spiritual Aspect : Saturation The Word of God and saturation with mysteries at the Mashiach's Meal. (PV)
spiritual and moral : The Prophet mentions here that it is God Himself who shows people His power and mercy. The world considers these manifestations to be a game of happiness, and hardly one in a thousand leaves room for the Providence of God. But the Prophet is looking for other wisdom from us: so that in all troubles we might think about the wonderful destinies of God, and in getting rid of them - about His goodness and mercy. For it is not by chance that one falls into the hands of enemies or robbers, and it is not by chance that he is saved. But we must remember that calamities and sorrows are the punishment of God: and therefore we must seek help in His mercy. And for the good, invariably thank God - the Source of all blessings. (St. Irenaeus of Pskov)

יֹשְׁבֵי חֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת אֲסִירֵי עֳנִי וּבַרְזֶל׃ |
Literally : Darkness and chains- slavery to the pharaoh in Egypt or a journey through the wilderness when Israel left Egypt.
6 The Lord, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, led us through the wilderness, through an empty and uninhabited land, through a dry land, through a land shadow of deathon which no one walked and where no man lived? (Jer. 2:6)
In the ascetic aspect : slavery to the mental pharaoh - to satan through idolatry and sins.
TSELMAVET - the shadow of death. In Jewish tradition, one of the seven names for Gehinom. And in messianic aspect chains and the shadow of death is Sheol, from which the righteous were brought out, who lived before the Messiah.
21 beforego away, - and I will not return, - inthe land of darkness and the shadow of death,
22 inland of darkness, what is the darkness of the shadow of death, where there is no device, [where] it is dark, like darkness itself. (Job 10:21,22)
Everything earthly, divine David calls shadow of death because it removes the soul from true life. Bound by poverty in virtue and iron from sins. As Solomon says: The lawless one is caught by his own iniquities, and he is held in the bonds of his sin: (Prov. 5:22)(Gregory the Theologian).
Let us not err by calling idolatry and deeds done in atheism the shadow of death. For they cut us off from true life. We indulged in these things before, because (11) grieved God and irritated the council of the Most High. (St. Athanasius)
Also in the messianic aspect: TSELMAVET - shadow of death- the darkness of idolatry and the pagan peoples who were bound by Satan. As this verse of the psalm makes us understand (PV)
15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, on the way by the seaside, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
16 people sitting in darknesssaw a great light, and upon those who sat in the land and shadow of death a light shone forth. (Mat. 4:15,16)
Any disobedience to God and life without spirituality is darkness - the prison of the soul. According to the doctrine of the new man, smart young man gotta get out from prison (from bonds) to the kingdom(born again) taking him away from old and stupid king. (PV)
106:11 For they did not obey the words of God, and neglected the will of the Most High.

Those who do not wish to be bound by the bonds of the law will eventually be bound by the bonds of judgment. Even among Christians there are many who disregard the will of the Lord. That is why only a few of us "stand in the freedom that Christ has given us." (Spurgeon)
If you are not a slave of God, then you are a slave of Satan. If you are not in God's Kingdom, the devil joins you to his kingdom. (PV)

כָּשַׁל A(qal): 1. stumble; 2. to stagger.B(ni): 1. stumble; 2.stagger. E(hi): 1. cause to stumble, be a stumbling block (temptation); 2. loosen, make stagger. F (ho): to be defeated or destroyed.
Man is vulnerable when he stumbles. He loses his balance, staggers, and even falls. The enemy gains power over him, becoming stronger than the one who lost his balance. It is necessary to overthrow oneself, as the apostle says, stammering and weakening us a sin to get rid of the power of the evil spirit. (PV)

Literally : the miraculous capture of the fortified cities of Jericho, etc.
In the New Testament aspect it is appropriate to recall the literal liberation from the bonds of the apostles Peter and Paul.
25 About midnight, Paul and Silas, praying, sang of God; the prisoners listened to them.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken;immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all were loosened. (Acts 16:25,26)
6 ... That night Peter slept between two soldiers,bound with two chains, and the guards at the door guarded the dungeon.
7 And behold, the angel of the Lord appeared, and the light shone in the prison. [The angel], pushing Peter in the side, woke him up and said: get up quickly. And the chains fell from his hands.
8 And the angel said to him, Gird yourself and put on your shoes. He did so. Then he said to him: put on your clothes and follow me.
10 After they had passed through the first and second watch, they cameto the iron gateleading to the citywhich opened themselves to them: they went out, and walked one street, and suddenly the angel was not with him. (Acts 12:6-8)
In the messianic aspect: The Messiah broke the gates of the Shadow of Death - Sheol, and brought out the faithful to God. He is a Wall Breaker. (PV)
13 Before them will goWall Breaker; they will break down the barriers, enter through the gate and go out through it;and their King will go before them, and the Lord is at their head. (Micah 2:13)
He means the descent of the Savior even to hell, into which He opened the gates of hell, enclosed for all by inextricable bonds. For He said: to the prisoners, come out, and to those who are in darkness, show yourself. (Isaiah 49:9)(St. Athanasius).

The reason for approaching Gehinom is an aversion to food. IN mysterious aspect , this is an aversion from the Word of the Most High - from His Torah, which is both bread and water that feeds the soul of man. This is a disregard for the will of God.

God in His mercy comes to their aid. His grace is threefold: He saves, (verse 19) He heals, He delivers. (Verse 20) These are the three ways in which God meets the basic needs of mankind: He saves from sin; He heals from illness; He delivers from the power of Satan.
In every case, God's answer comes through His word. " sent his word- to save, heal, free. Here is a revelation of exceptional importance: our problems may be different, but God's answer to each of them comes through the same channel - His Word.
Maybe you've been crying out to God for help and you feel like He hasn't answered you yet. Look again at His Word. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you. You will find the answer there! (D. Prince).

At His word the waves rise. Wind and waves in our life (sea of life) by the will of the Creator. The occurrence of troubles in our lives is all at the will of the Creator in order to reason and convert us. (PV)
Such is the power of the Lord that He brings such disasters that can either diminish or destroy the wise, the strong, and the rich, so that it is clear that these executions are sent from God (Chrysostom).
Ascetic aspect: Perhaps the words: and a stormy spirit has arisen, should refer not to God, but to the enemy; for the voice of the adversary produce the spirit of a mental storm. So, the lifting of such waves, i.e. passions, to heights, is the cause of descent into the abyss; and under the abyss in many passages of Scripture is understood, as we have experienced, the habitation of demons. (Gregory of Nyssa)

Literally: The meaning of the half-line: in a storm, all the wisdom (skill) to steer the ship costs nothing. (Kovsan)
The helmsmen who steer the ships know their science, but for fear of death they lose all reason, and cannot even use the methods they have been trained to use. (St. Irenaeus of Pskov)
Fear not according to God, animal fear, harms a person. Fear of worldly storms devalues wisdom. Why? Because the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God. Conversely, the fear of everything except God is stupidity. This can be clearly seen in the case of the apostles at sea:
37 And a great storm arose; the waves beat on the boat, so that it was already filling up [with water].
38 And He slept in the stern at the head. They wake him up and say to him: Master! don't you need that we perish?
39 And rising up, he rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Be quiet, cease. And the wind died down, and there was a great silence.
40 And he said to them, Whatyou are so fearful? likeyou have no faith?
41 And they feared with great fear, and said among themselves, Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him? (Mark 4:37-41)
At first they were afraid of the elements, having no hope and faith. Were stupid. But when asking the question who is he that commands the sea and seeing in him the Son of God, they were filled with wisdom. (PV)
Remez on the moral aspect : Like drunks...wisdom disappears- a drunk intoxicated person loses wisdom, mind and will. Drunkenness is prohibited. And it is especially forbidden to priests.
9 You and your sons do not drink wine or strong drink with you when you enter the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die. [This is] an everlasting ordinance throughout your generations,
10 so that you can distinguish the sacred from the unsacred and the impure from the pure, (Lev.10:9,10) Wisdom is precisely that property of the human spirit when it can distinguish good from evil and truth from falsehood. Wisdom is right choice. (PV)
Wisdom is fading- from the fear of the heart. There is a patristic commentary that understands wisdom in a negative aspect - as worldly wisdom. Those. if God sends grief and excitement to the sea of life, then all the skills and all the knowledge (worldly wisdom) and all the pride of a person are powerless to pacify misfortunes until a person humbles himself under the strong hand of God. (PV)

Fourth of four repetitions of words: Called upon the Lord in their sorrow…
In this verse, the operation of God's salvation is described as bringing out ( brought them out), conclusion, safe conduct through danger.
In the Tanakh, 9 verses are marked with inverted letters NUN. There are seven occurrences in this psalm.
Ravin M. Kovsan, in his commentary, writes that the most common explanation for the sign is to exclude when reading. In my opinion, this is an unfortunate explanation for the special marking of these verses, since they are the basis of the rule of four kinds of thanksgiving for salvation in the Jewish tradition. (PV)
There are notes in this passage (reversed letters nun before verses 23 to 28, and before 40, and they should be interpreted as limiting "BUT" and "ONLY". That is, it says here: if one invokes before the Heavenly judgment then they are heard, but after the verdict they are not heard.(Rashi)
In Bavli, tractate Rosh Hashanah 17b, which discusses the forgiveness of sin to a person in connection with the repentant holidays of the holiday of the beginning of the year = ROSH HASHANA, it is added that "what is said about the sailors on the ship does not apply to the community, whose prayer is answered even after the judgment of Heaven" .
Rabbi M. Levinov comments on these words:
The words “but” and “only” AH and RAK always limit in meaning. The principle of this rule assumes that introductory words in the Torah, like the Russian "only" or "however", have an additional meaning, and implies that the general judgment of the verse has an exception. An example of this is the verse in the book of Joshua also marked with an inverted nun: Only(RAK=רַק ) be strong and courageous to carefully keep the Torah… (Nav. 1.7).
From the word « only" it is concluded that royal orders should be followed, except for those that contradict the laws of the Torah.
Rashi wants to say that these signs indicate some kind of restriction, just like the words "AH = but" and "RAK = only". In this case, the limitation is that the cries of " called out to God» after the verdict is passed, they cannot reverse the verdict. However, it should be noted that we here follow the opinion that “prayer is good both before the verdict and after” (Rashi on Rosh Hashanah 16a). Rashi cites that inverted nun replace the words "only" or "however". (Moishe Rotmistrsky)
The Talmud in the treatise Rosh Hashanah, discussing who is forgiven sins and whether it is possible to cancel the sentence of heaven, reduces everything to this world and the sentences passed in this life. (ROSH HASHANA - New Year, and YOM KIPUR - Day of Judgment). In Jewish tradition, there is an opinion that this is a time of special repentance for an individual - ten days, from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur.
Bavli talks about things that delay or change Heaven's judgment. On sheet 17b, it says that the community ( wail) can overturn the sentence. And in this verse, Bavli sees the people gathered on the ship not as a community, but as different individuals, and judgment is passed on them as an individual, and not as a community, even if they shout and cry together.
Of interest are Bavli's lines in this case. Since, if we take into account the allusion to the holidays of repentance, which are celebrated in the Jewish tradition, we can see why these verses are marked with signs.
Rosh Hashan = “Head of the Year” and the following days of awe and repentance, in the allusion that I see, this is OLAM A-ZE = this, the real world.
YOM KIPUR = "Day of Judgment" - the day of death and judgment of a person in the afterlife. This is OLAM A-BA = the world to come.
Sea- life in this world. As the Church sings (irmos 6 voices): Life Sea erected in vain misfortune a storm to your quiet haven, flow, crying out to Thee, Raise my belly from aphids, Many-merciful.. As long as a person lives here in this world, he is sentenced (as on Rosh Hashanah). But he can change it wail).
With the onset of a private Judgment (the image of the Yom Kippur holiday), after the death of an individual, there is no place for change, the person himself cannot influence the change of the sentence beyond the grave. Already stamped.
But according to Bavli, the community can change the verdict even after the trial. And we know that intercession and invocation (screams) and Tsdaka = almsgiving for the dead, cancels the sentence and the seal.
With the onset of the Great Judgment (general), at the resurrection of the dead, even the community will no longer be able to change the seal and sentence. Since the community itself will not be able to pray for the departed, because it will itself be under Judgment (general).
Those who are on a ship sailing on the sea of \u200b\u200blife this life, while they can still cancel the sentence, with a cry, as it is written in Ps. 106:28 But they called on the Lordin your sorrowand he brought them outout of their distress.
Reversed letter "nun", as Rashi said in his comment: gives a limitation, like the word RAK = only. This means that they will be heard and delivered, but if only they cry before the judgment, but after the judgment they will not be heard. Need a yell invocations to God change the sentence before it is YOM KIPUR = Day of Judgment! Those. call again here, in this life, to receive deliverance from Gehinom, since after the end of life it will be too late. Thus, it is possible to explain in the key of the interpretation of Bavli r. Shlomo Yitzhak's reason for marking these verses with an inverted nun. (PV)

New Testament Remez: Miracle at sea. The calming of the storm by the word of Christ, when the disciples shouted: the teacher is perishing. He, having risen, forbade the wind and said to the sea: be quiet, stop it. And the wind died down, and there was a great silence.
Ascetic aspect: A storm of many waters is an attack by unclean spirits through bodily passions. God, on the other hand, gives shelter to man among the waves of the raging sea. And along with getting rid of the water element under the guise of the saved, whom the Jewish Siman defines with the word YAM = sea, we can also mean those freed from the attack, i.e. from the temptations of the storm of passions disturbed by unclean spirits. (PV)
In the same aspect, St. Gregory.
Perhaps, having said: its waves were silent, the name of silence means that these waves are some kind of arbitrary forces, which means the essence of apostates, i.e. demons. (St. Gregory of Nyssa)

The people of God are called Jewish. And here there is a direct connection with the word confession and glorification.
confession- sounds in Hebrew like YHUD = יהודה. Thus, from "confession" the name "confessor" was called. Although here the word "confession" is used instead of the word "thanksgiving" or "praise", as is often the case in the psalms and in the Gospel: “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, (Matt. 11:25). (Jerome of Stridon)

The prophecy here is merged and introduces the face of two peoples; speaks of the punishment of one and the salvation of the other. Formerly watered with abundant prophetic rivers, the teachings of the Jews, because of their malice and depravity, are completely devoid of their former irrigation. Under desert understands the Church which Christ laid into the lake water of holy baptism. Outgoing water- tears of repentance. The land is waterless- a person without the grace of baptism (patristic commentary).
And vice versa. He turns previously dried up springs into usable fresh water - into sources of water. This must be understood in the aspect that the punishment of the Jews is not final. But there will be salvation for the people of Israel. (PV)

Messianic, New Testament Aspect: City- The Church is built up by the blood and suffering of Christ's confessors and enlighteners of pagan peoples. Where persecutors and tormentors cruelly put to death a martyr for Christ, a community was formed that saw the feat of a confessor. Apostles and Enlighteners and Confessors of Christ are named hungry. What do they hunger and crave? Righteousness of God. As the Messiah said: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. (Matthew 5:6). Apostles and shepherds work building up the Church - adding new members to the body of Christ.

So the apostles sowed the seeds of saving preaching and planted spiritual gardens for God and brought forth ripe fruit for Him. cattle names those whom they shepherd. For the Lord Himself called the believers sheep (Patriotic Commentary).

וַיִּמְעֲטוּ וַיָּשֹׁחוּ מֵעֹצֶר רָעָה וְיָגוֹן׃ |
Literally: Israel's punishment for iniquity.
Christian aspect: The Church, when afflicted with the disease of obesity and insensibility, plunges into punishment for correction. She is oppressed, trampled on, she is persecuted and persecuted. Through these sorrows and calamities, the Church is cleansed and healed. Example: Fall of Byzantium, 1917 for the Russian Church, etc. (PV)
They diminished and fell from oppression, distress and sorrow. The consequences of sin were oppression, distress, and affliction. In the Old Testament, blessings and curses came down on the people of God in direct proportion to how much they kept the commandments of the Lord. Tests are very different, but here the psalmist gives only three: oppression, disaster and sorrow. The rod of punishment comes down on us in a different way each time: many sins deserve many blows. When grace diminishes in the people or in the church, the people or the church itself diminishes. If our love for God decreases in us, is it any wonder that the Lord reduces His blessings? Let us walk before Him in humility of spirit, not forgetting that we are wholly dependent on His good pleasure. (Spurgeon)
Ascetic aspect: Everyone decreases in his greatness and reverence according to his sins. Such a person turns into a bridle of Divine Providence - sorrows and disasters. And everyone who made a vow in baptism to God of good conscience should remember the words of the warning from Psalm 31, which was read after immersion in the baptismal font:
9 Don't be like a horse, like a stupid hinny whose jaws need to be curbed bridleand bitsfor them to subdueyou.
10 Sorrows are many for the wicked, but mercy surrounds him who trusts in the Lord. (Ps. 31:9,10)(PV)
106:40 he pours dishonor on the princes and leaves them to wander in the wilderness, where there are no ways.

שֹׁפֵךְ בּוּז עַל־נְדִיבִים וַיַּתְעֵם בְּתֹהוּ לֹא־דָרֶךְ׃ נ |
Literally: Those who refused out of fear to enter the land that God gave to the people, remained in the wilderness.
Messianic and ascetic aspect : Rejection of the priesthood and the princes of Israel for the betrayal of their Mashaiah to be executed. Desert- Galut, outside the promised land. And without the Savior and the Messiah there is no way of salvation, since He is the Way and the Life:
6 Jesus said to him:I am the wayand truth and life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)
Also under princes we mean the princes of the air. The prince of the power of the air, the spirit that works in the sons of disobedience (Eph. 2:2). Satan, having lost his goodness, is left and blind. His fate, dwelling outside the City of Truth, as well as the dwelling of those who allow him to act in himself against the Truth of God. (PV)
This verse is also marked with an inverted nun.
Following the Rashi key that was used to explain the verses marked with the reversed Nun, the following explanation of this marked verse is possible:
Pours out dishonor ONLY if they are unworthy of the benefits described above in verses 37 and 38. Those. when they are not obedient to the Word of the Most High. And also, in conjunction with the next verse, it is seen that princes and those in power are judged more strictly, since much has been entrusted to them. And to whom much has been entrusted, much will be required.
48 And from everyonewho has been given much, much and will needand to whom much is entrusted, more will be exacted from him. (Luke 12:48) In addition, power and wealth often make a person proud and self-willed. Such are left by God. (PV)
Spiritual and moral aspect: Symmachus translated: so he will do what they will wander in the turmoil of the mind. God does not mislead, even forbids misguidance; but allows the disobedient to remain without a helmsman; but those who do not know how to establish themselves firmly, rushing hither and thither, wander. (Theodoret of Kirsky)
In this psalm we have already met with drunkenness - the foolishness of the wise, in verse 27: they spin and staggerlike drunkards, and all their wisdom vanishes.
Remez can be cited according to the spirit of intoxication, delusion and lulling, which is sent to people who are rebellious and cruel-minded, who disregard the will of the Almighty. For example, the prophet Isaiah says about Egypt:
11 Yes!mad princesZoan;advice of the wisepharaoh's advisersbecame meaningless. How will you say to Pharaoh: "I am the son of the wise, the son of the kings of old?"
12 Where are they? where are your wise men? let them now tell you; let them know what the Lord of hosts has decreed about Egypt.
13 Crazedprinces of Zoan;deceivedprinces of Memphis, and led Egypt out of the way of the heads of her tribes.
14 The Lord sent into him the SPIRIT OF DRUNK; and they led Egypt astray in all her doings, as a drunken man wanders in his vomit. (Is.19:11-14)
And here, about the Jewish leaders and chiefs:
9 Be amazed and wonder:they blinded others and they themselves were blinded; they are drunk, but not from wine, they stagger, but not from strong drink;
10 for the Lord has brought upon youSPIRIT OF SLEEPand closed your eyes, prophets, and closed your heads, seers.
11 And every prophecy is to you like the words in a sealed book, which is given to one who knows how to read the book and says, "Read it"; and he replies: "I can't, because it's sealed."
13 And the Lord said, Because this people draws near to me with their mouth, and honors me with their tongue,but his heart is far from me, and their reverence for me is the study of the commandments of men;
14 then, behold, I will deal with this people extraordinarily, wonderfully and wonderfully, so thatthe wisdom of his wise men will perish, and the understanding of his prudent ones will not. (Isaiah 29:9-14)
But when a person listens to God - His Word, he comes to life, sobers up, wakes up. Disobedience must be replaced by humility and obedience to the will of the Creator. Wandering should see the light that drives away drowsiness and sleepiness from the eyes, and makes it possible to see the straight path.
18 And on that daythe deaf will hear the words of the book, and out of darkness and gloom the eyes of the blind will see.
24 Thenthose who wander in spirit will know wisdomand the disobedient will learn obedience. (Is.29:18,24)(PV)

וַיְשַׂגֵּב אֶבְיוֹן מֵעוֹנִי וַיָּשֶׂם כַּצֹּאן מִשְׁפָּחוֹת׃ |
Opposite the princes, the poor are opposed. The poor, as a rule, have less pride, less responsibility. Poor does not have the opportunity to rely on his power, strength and wealth. He trusts in God. And God brings him out of trouble. It is more convenient for a poor person, like a poor community or church, to refrain from pride, satiety and lust for power. After all, the Savior said: I tell you truly, it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven;(Matthew 19:23).
In verse 9 of this psalm it says: For He satisfied the thirsty soul and filled the hungry soul with good things. Thirsty and hungry for the truth and persecuted for the truth, poor in spirit and weeping retrieved from distress and filled with blessings. This is a promise to all who thirst and hunger for the truth of God and suffer for it. (PV)

יִרְאוּ יְשָׁרִים וְיִשְׂמָחוּ וְכָל־עַוְלָה קָפְצָה פִּיהָ׃ |
The righteous see the mercy and justice of the Most High, and this is joy for those who are hungry and thirsty for the Truth, because this is the saturation of the truth of God.
How stop the mouth of all wickedness(Ps. 107:42)? The truth of God. The accuser of Satan has less boldness to accuse us if we walk in the will of God and in the righteousness of the Most High. Standing in the truth stops the mouth of the accuser.
In another sense of the word "everythingimpiety stops the mouththeir", it is possible to understand that speech, which is given to a person for a higher purpose - glorification of the Creator and communication with Him, loses its purpose in the wicked and villains. Since villainy blocks the mouths of villains, does not allow the mouths of villains to be opened for real prayer and real doxology. The spirit of malice is a dumb spirit that forbids a person to communicate with the Creator. In Psalm 30, a sentence was pronounced on deceitful lips, on the lips of wickedness: Yesnumb mouth deceitfulwho speak evil against the righteous with pride and contempt. (Ps. 30:19)(PV)

He who is wise will remember this- remember that the Almighty rewards everyone according to his deeds and will not follow the path of the villains, considering that well-being has been given to them (Radak).
Who is wise and will keep this and understandinghert the mercy of the Lord? As stated in the previous verse, only righteous whose mouths are not blocked, but on the contrary, are filled with praise and glorification of God, who is merciful (PV)
Because not everyone can mindebe and to know the philanthropic economy of the Savior, and save Divine statutes, but only guided by wisdom and understanding and calling on the Lord: open my eyes and mind. (Mark 9:17-26)
the power of psalm 106Psalm 106 helps in many matters and magicians use it in many of their needs. If, for example, you have some kind of problem and you want it to be resolved quickly, then you need to read this psalm three times to all four cardinal points clockwise. The problem will be solved soon.
If you want the plants to grow well and bear fruit in your garden, dacha, then verses 35, 36 and 37 of this psalm are read into slightly sweet water and then it is sprayed over the plot. This method also helps against pests. Read 12 times.
If you want to calm down the wind, rain and good weather, then read the Our Father on the candle 9 times and then verses 29,30,31 of this psalm 22 times and very soon the weather will calm down.
The psalms have a lot of power, we will touch on them later, the Master gives initiation into the Psalter, this is very good, I advise everyone who works with psalms to go through. The dedication to the mastery of the psalter is one of the strongest in the Russian magical school.
Psalm 106
Praise the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever!
So say those who are redeemed by the Lord, whom he delivered from the hand of the enemy,
and gathered from the countries, from the east and the west, from the north and the sea.
They wandered in the desert along a deserted path and did not find a populated city;
endured hunger and thirst, their soul melted away in them.
But they cried out to the Lord in their affliction, and He delivered them from their troubles,
and led them by a straight path, that they might go to the inhabited city.
for He satisfied the thirsty soul and filled the hungry soul with good things.
They sat in darkness and the shadow of death, chained with sorrow and iron;
for they did not obey the words of God and neglected the will of the Most High.
He humbled their hearts by their works; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and loosed their bands.
Let them praise the Lord for His mercy and for His wonderful works for the sons of men:
for he has broken the gates of brass, and broken the bands of iron.
The foolish suffered for their wicked ways and for their iniquities;
their soul turned away from all food, and they approached the gates of death.
But they cried to the Lord in their sorrow, and He saved them from their calamities;
sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their graves.
May they offer Him a sacrifice of praise and may they proclaim His deeds with singing!
Those who go to sea in ships, doing business in high waters,
see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep:
He speaks, and a stormy wind arises and lifts its waves high:
ascend to heaven, descend to the abyss; their soul melts in distress;
they twirl and stagger like drunkards, and all their wisdom vanishes.
But they cried out to the Lord in their sorrow, and He brought them out of their distress.
He turns the storm into silence, and the waves fall silent.
And they rejoice that they have subsided, and He leads them to the desired pier.
May they praise the Lord for His mercy and for His wonderful works for the sons of men!
May they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, and may they glorify Him in the assembly of the elders!
He turns rivers into desert and springs of water into dry land,
fertile land - into salty, for the wickedness of those who live on it.
He turns the desert into a lake, and the dry land into springs of water;
and settles the hungry there, and they build a city to dwell in;
they sow fields, plant vineyards, which bring them abundant fruit.
He blesses them, and they multiply greatly, and the cattle does not detract from them.
They decreased and fell from oppression, disaster and sorrow, -
he pours dishonor on the princes and leaves them to wander in the wilderness where there are no ways.
He brings the poor out of distress and multiplies his family like a flock of sheep.
The righteous see this and rejoice, but all wickedness stops their mouths.
Whoever is wise will notice this and understand the mercy of the Lord.
106:1-3
Praise the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever!
2 So say those who are redeemed by the Lord, whom he delivered from the hand of the enemy,
3 and gathered from the countries, from the east and the west, from the north and the sea.
And again the call to praise Jehovah: there is a reason, for His people have been delivered from the hands of the invaders and gathered from all nations. Actually, here it is said about all the redeemed by the Lord, not necessarily only about literal Israel - it is. The chanter knows that the people of Jehovah will be gathered from all nations, and this people will be delivered from the hand of both literal invaders and spiritual pests.
106:4-7
They wandered in the desert along a deserted path and did not find a populated city;
5 they endured hunger and thirst, their soul melted away in them.
6 But they cried to the Lord in their distress, and he delivered them from their distress,
7 and led them on a straight path to go to a populated city.
Here we can talk about Israel being led through the wilderness at the exit from Egypt and that God, although he punished them with the wilderness and did not want to see those who persist in their lusts - in the promised land, but, nevertheless, according to their cry for help he took care of them until the time of their life in the wilderness had expired, he did not leave them to the mercy of fate.
106:8
Let them praise the Lord for His mercy and for His wonderful works for the sons of men:
The chanter wants all the sons of men to praise God, but not just like that, but for his great deeds for people, so that they have the opportunity to find joy in life - even in this century. Many, alas, do not notice what God has already done for the sons of men and take the improvement of the earth for granted. Well, how, after all, read, the kings of nature, to assess the magnitude of God's deeds for them is not enough intelligence, but to spoil someone else's property - God's planet - is very easy to do.
106:9-11
for He satisfied the thirsty soul and filled the hungry soul with good things.
10 They sat in darkness and the shadow of death, chained with sorrow and iron;
11 for they did not obey the words of God, and neglected the will of the Most High.
But not only material goods are abundantly showered on man from God. Spiritual light has come for the hungry and thirsty on earth, for those sitting in complete ignorance and in complete spiritual darkness did not have the opportunity to enjoy life: the sorrows of this age darken all the ignorant.
All those who neglect the word of God and His instructions continue to sit in the darkness of ignorance, which is why they are shrouded in sorrows, as if behind prison bars they are trapped in troubles and no one can escape from them without enlightenment from God.
106:12
He humbled their hearts by their works; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.
God had no other choice but to show the disobedient people all the "charm" of independence from Him: sorrows and overwork - that's all the joy of those who are free from the Lord. When a person has the opportunity to compare the days of prosperity with the days of hopeless exhaustion, then it is easier for him to evaluate the days of prosperity and make his heart feel at least some gratitude to the One who provides them with prosperity. So God is forced to teach humanity to do good - through the knowledge of evil, to humble their "lordly" claims - by the need to work hard for themselves - on those days when He ceases to patronize them for their disobedience. Otherwise, the sons of men grow up - ungrateful and lustful consumers instead of grateful and loving sons of God.
So it is in life in the relationship between parents and children: those parents who do not accustom their children to independence and try to do everything instead of their children will inevitably reap ungrateful and cruel-hearted children, raising capricious “barchuks” out of them. In order to prevent this from happening, you need to take an example from God and stop patronizing your children at least periodically, especially during those periods of their lives when they are ungrateful and disobedient to their parents.
106:13 But they cried to the Lord in their sorrow, and He saved them from their calamities; And just as children, forced to live in difficult conditions for some time, eventually turn to their parents for help, so rebellious Israel also always turned to God when they no longer had the strength to endure difficulties. And God always came to their aid again and again in the hope that they would finally come to their senses and understand that there was no need to stumble against God's ways and act presumptuously.
106:14
brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and loosed their bands.
God can bring His human children out of spiritual and physical darkness, if a person would have a desire to get out of the wilds. And God is always ready to lend a helping hand.
106:15,16
Let them praise the Lord for His mercy and for His wonderful works for the sons of men:
16 For he has broken the gates of brass, and broken the bands of iron.
And how can such a God not be praised? Yes, we all simply have to constantly thank our God for the fact that He is patiently busy with all of humanity in the hope that at least someday we will come to our senses. That at least someday we will come to the correct conclusion that there is no one but God worthy of our devotion and love, for only He is always ready and able to help a person
106:17,18
The foolish suffered for their wicked ways and for their iniquities;
18 Their souls turned away from all food, and they drew near to the gates of death.
The reckless will always suffer from illness and approaching death, and this is fair: whoever bites the “hand” of the Giver of life and goodness will one day lose it, and no one will want to give anything to the reckless, neither health, nor wisdom, nor joy life - you can’t wait for such a thing from God (it doesn’t mean mental madness, but it means spiritual depravity so much that they don’t want to recognize Jehovah as their God). Recklessness here acts as a spiritual and moral, and not an intellectual or mental category.
106:19
But they cried to the Lord in their sorrow, and He saved them from their calamities;
And, it would seem, everything is clear and understandable with the reckless of the people of God. But as soon as they cried out to the Lord, He immediately picked up their cry, for he was waiting for their conversion, did not stop hoping that they would come to their senses: God does not want the death of people, and therefore is patient and merciful.
106:20
sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their graves.
This text is prophetic about Christ Jesus, who rescued mankind from the shadow of death and freed it from the graves in the sense that thanks to the redemption, people have hope for healing and resurrection in the age to come.
106:21
May they praise the Lord for His mercy and for His wonderful works for the sons of men!
And we will all show blatant ingratitude if we do not feel the need to thank God and glorify Him for all the good that He does for each of us for the sake of our own well-being.
106:22
May they offer Him a sacrifice of praise and may they proclaim His deeds with singing!
Therefore, our hearts must urge us to praise the Lord and give thanks to Him all our days with the sacrifice of our lips and praise in His honor, and proclaim everywhere about His wonderful deeds for mankind.
Well, if we are not prompted to this, and if our heart does not sing from thoughts about God, something is clearly wrong with us, and our heart comes out, stone, impenetrable or wrong, if we are obvious blessings from the Lord - notice do not want.
106:23-28
Those who go to sea in ships, doing business in high waters,
24 they see the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep:
25 He says, and a stormy wind rises and lifts its waves high:
26 ascend to heaven, descend to the abyss; their soul melts in distress;
27 they twirl and stagger like drunkards, and all their wisdom vanishes.
28 But they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he brought them out of their distress.
Using the example of those traveling by sea, the psalmist showed here how it is possible to notice the miracles and help of God, for in the circumstances of the elements it is very difficult not to notice the good deeds of the Lord in salvation from the depths of the sea. For if a storm and a storm break out on the sea, then the smell of death is very clearly felt, and if God does not calm the elements and help to be saved, then there is no salvation from anyone else.
Sailors appreciate God's care for themselves, and therefore they cry out for his help every time during disasters at sea, therefore they are grateful to Him, and therefore it is impossible to dissuade them that God does not help them if they survive after the storm.
106:29-31
He turns the storm into silence, and the waves fall silent.
30 And they rejoice that they are quiet, and He brings them to the desired harbor.
31 Praise the Lord for His mercy and for His wonderful works for the sons of men!
Sailors see how God calms every storm and calms the waves of the sea, how can they not sing the glory of the Lord and give praise for His wonders? Therefore, the singer calls to praise the Lord of all the sons of men, even if they have not yet encountered the breath of death: the Lord always has something to praise and praise for. If you think about it, of course, and not be a reckless animal.
106:32
May they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, and may they glorify Him in the assembly of the elders!
As you can see, the gathering of God's people has always taken place, and the elders in it - not by the whim of man, but by the will of God are, for this is how God arranged the society of His people in order to preserve order in it. Where there is no order, there is disorder and everything bad, there you can not see the well-being of the people.
So, the glory of the Lord is also appropriate in the assembly of God's people, there is no place on earth where it would be possible to keep silent about the God of miracles.
106:33,34
He turns rivers into desert and springs of water into dry land,
34 fertile land into salty soil, for the wickedness of those who dwell on it.
If the peoples who know God remain in wickedness and do not appreciate the works of God for them, God leaves their inheritance, and then the rivers of this inheritance will dry up, the earth will become salt, for without God's care everything sooner or later becomes worthless.
106:35-38
He turns the desert into a lake, and the dry land into springs of water;
36 and settles the hungry there, and they build a city to dwell in; 37 they sow the fields, they plant vineyards, which bring them abundant fruit.
38 He blesses them, and they multiply greatly, and their livestock does not diminish.
But for those who are hungry and thirsty for his word, God turns His eyes to the desolate places of the earth and revives them for the sake of these people. And it helps them to build cities, and life resumes where desertedness and devastation were fierce: the vineyards give their fruits, and the cattle multiply in that land, and the people of God prosper under the supervision of God. Where the eyes of the Lord are, there is life, abundance and happiness.
106:39,40
They decreased and fell from oppression, disaster and sorrow, -
40 He pours dishonor on the princes and leaves them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
An interesting remark of the psalmist: disasters and sorrows and a decrease in the people often occur because of the princes of the people, therefore God is angry, first of all, with the princes of His people, and leaves them to wander in the spiritual wilderness, where there is no word of God and admonition to what way of life - get out of there. Therefore, princes most often do not accept the word of God's instruction, because they go into independent wandering of their minds.
106:41
He brings the poor out of distress and multiplies his family like a flock of sheep.
The rest of the people, who do not belong to the princes, and who are not carried away by their arrogance towards the spiritual desert - God himself strengthens, when there is no hope for the princes, finds a way to help them and multiply in number. This has always been the case with Jehovah's people. So it will be until the end of this age: if the princes become worthless, God finds another way to help those who are hungry and thirsty for His ways, but without hope and without help - He never leaves.
106:42
The righteous see this and rejoice, but all wickedness stops their mouths.
Those who know about this state of things from God will certainly see how He helps the “poor” of His people, the hungry and thirsty, finding a way to help them even without the wicked “princes”.
That is why they rejoice at the picture of God's help for those who seek Him. For through them God helps his people, through them he stops the mouth of the wickedness of the princes, showing the “poor” a way out of the spiritual wilderness of the “principality”, which has become wicked because of the wickedness of the princes.
106:43
Whoever is wise will notice this and understand the mercy of the Lord.
Not everyone will notice how God helps the "poor" and the poor in spirit from His people. But he who is wise among His people will certainly notice.
