Psalm 106: We have sinned with our fathers

Read Psalm 106:1-48 before you meet.

In a few lines

Psalm 106 tells Israel's whole story as a confession, "We have sinned with our fathers" (106:6), in the three Hebrew verbs Solomon's prayer gives a captive people (1 Kings 8:47). Twice a man stands where wrath breaks in: Moses "in the breach" (106:23), and Phinehas (106:30). And it ends asking God to do what it began by telling: "he saved them" (106:8); "Save us" (106:47).

The verse to carry

“Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.”

Psalm 106:44

To talk about

  1. 1. The psalm says "We have sinned with our fathers" (106:6), not "they sinned". What changes when you speak to God about sin as *we* instead of *they*?

  2. 2. "Then they believed his words. They sang his praise. They soon forgot his works" (106:12-13). What helps you keep remembering what God has done after the song is over?

  3. 3. Moses "stood before him in the breach" for the people (106:23), and Exodus says he "begged the LORD his God" for them (Exodus 32:11). Who would you plead with God for this week?
