The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 356
356. Internal Meaning of Psalm 106
Of the church instituted among the Jewish nation: it became perverted and revolted. (3)
1-5 Prayer of the Lord to the Father to give help, that He might see the church established. (13, 11, 3)
6-8 Although those who were of the church beheld Divine miracles, they backslid, and yet they were preserved, (3)
9-34 as at the sea Suph and afterwards in the desert (many [instances here recounted]), nevertheless they rebelled. (3)
35-39 They totally destroyed and profaned the truths and goods of the church. (3)
40-43 Therefore the church with them was forsaken by the Lord, and destroyed. (3)
44-46 Then those who were out of the church were heard, (11)
47-48 and a church constituted of them will arise and will worship the Lord. (11, 8)
