The psalmist recounts the history of Israel, from Moses to the Judges(?). In this condensed form it's easy to see how closely the tribe of Israel resembles the life of a man. God has forever shown mercy on Israel, just as he continues to show mercy on me each and every time I've fallen. Some of his reminders have been less than gentle, but I certainly deserve worse.
Then He gave them into the hand of the nations,
And those who hated them ruled over them. PSA 106:41
Nevertheless He looked upon their distress
When He heard their cry;
And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented according to the greatness of His lovingkindness. PSA 106:44-45
Amen
