This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
"Praise ye Jah." "Blessed [be] Jehovah God of Israel from the everlasting and into the everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen Hallelujah (Praise ye Jah)." This confesses the evil works of Israel in ungrateful forgetfulness, rebellion, and idolatry. Yet Jehovah's ear is open to their repentant cry, as His hand to deliver; hence their prayer to "Jehovah our God," "Save us," and "gather us from among the Gentiles" to give thanks to His holy name and to triumph in His praise, as will surely be at the end of this age.
In Ps. 105 only divine goodness appears to Israel, and His judgments on their enemies, ending in Hallelujah. In Ps. 106, which begins and ends with Hallelujah, we have only Israel's evil ways confessed but divine mercy on their cry; as the ground for salvation and deliverance from among the Gentiles to triumph in Jehovah's praise. Ps. 103 had the last title.
