December 2, 2012 – Psalms 106 - 106:31    

The author goes through all the mistakes that the Israelites made after the Red Sea, but then, owns up the fact that they are continuing to make the same mistakes.  I didn’t get the sense that he was trying to excuse themselves of responsibility.  He could have done so by saying that the Israelites that came out of Egypt saw all these miracles and still failed, we haven’t seen miracles, so the fact that we are failing isn’t as big a deal.  I didn’t get that sense.  It was more, they screwed up and you showed mercy, we are screwing up, please show us mercy.
