Geneva Bible Notes (1560): Psalm 106

^{1 !} The people dispersed vnder Antiochus do magnifie the goodnes of God among the juste and repentant:

^{1 a} The Prophet exhorteth the people to praiese God for his benefites past, that thereby their mindes maie be strengthened against all present troubles & despaire.

^{3 b} He sheweth that it is not ynought to praise God with mouth, except the whole heart agre therunto, and all our life be thereunto framed.

^{4 !} Desiring to be broght againe into the land by Gods merciful visitation.

^{4 c} Let the good wil that thou bearest to thy people, extend vnto me, that thereby I maie be receiued in to the nomber of thine.

^{6 d} By earnest confession aswel of their owne, as of their fathers sinnes, they shew that they had hope that God according to his promes wolde pitie them.

^{8 !} And after the manifolde maruels of God wroght in their deliuerance forthe of Egypt, and the great ingratitude of the people rehearsed,

^{8 e} The inestimable goodnes of God appeareth in this, that he wolde change the ordre of nature, rather then his people shulde not be deliuered, althogh they were wicked.

^{12 f} The wonderful workes of God caused them to beleue for a time and to praise him.

^{13 g} They wolde preuent his wisdome and prouidence.

^{15 h} The abundance that God gaue them, profited not but made them pine away, because God cursed it.

^{17 i} By the greatnes of the punishment, the hainous offence maie be considered: for they that rise against God ministers, rebel against him.

^{20 k} He sheweth that all idolaters renounce God to be their glorie, when instead of him they worship anie creature, muche more wood, stone, metal or calues.

^{23 l} If Moses by his intercession had not obteined Gods fauour against their rebellions.

^{24 m} That is, Canaan, which was as it were an earnest penie of the heauenlie inheritance.

^{26 n} That is, he sware, Somtime also it meaneth to punish.

^{28 p} Sacrifices offred to the dead idoles.

^{28 o} Which was the idole of the Moabites.

^{29 q} Signifying, that whatsoeuer man inuenteth of him self to serue God by, is detestable & prouoketh his angre.

^{30 r} When all other neglected Gods glorie, he in his zeale killed the adulterers & preuented Gods wrath.

^{31 s} This acte decalred his liuelie faith, & for his faiths sake was accepted.

^{32 t} If so notable a Prophet of God escape not punishment thogh others prouoked him to sinne, how muche more shal they be subject to Gods judgement, which cause Gods children to sin?

^{37 u} He sheweth how monstruos a thing idolatrie is, which can winne vs to things abhorring to nature, where as Gods worde can not obteine moste smale things.

^{39 x} Then true chastitie is to cleaue wholly & onely vnto God.

^{43 y} The Prophet sheweth that nether by menaces, nor promises we can come to God, except we be all together newly reformed, & that his mercie ouercouer and hide our malice.

^{45 z} Not that God is changeable in him self, but that then he semeth to vs to repent, when he altereth his punishment, & forgiueth vs.

^{47 a} Gather thy Church, which is dispersed, and giue vs constancie vnder the crosse, that with one consent we may all praise thee.

^{47 !} Thei do pray & desire to be gathered from among the heathen to the intent thei may praise the Name of God of Israel.
