Psalm 106 is a historical psalm that recounts Israel's rebellion and God's faithfulness. It opens with praise and thanksgiving before chronicling the Israelites' repeated sins and God's merciful responses throughout their history. The psalm recounts several key events including:

+ The Exodus from Egypt and crossing of the Red Sea
+ The wilderness wanderings and complaints about food
+ The worship of the golden calf at Mount Sinai
+ The rebellion of Dathan and Abiram
+ Israel's mixing with pagan nations and adopting their idolatrous practices
+ The cycle of sin, punishment, and divine deliverance

Despite describing Israel's unfaithfulness, the psalm emphasizes God's steadfast mercy and faithfulness to His covenant promises. It concludes with a plea for God to gather His people from among the nations and save them, so they may give thanks to His holy name.
The psalm serves as both a confession of national sin and a testimony to God's enduring faithfulness despite human failings. It's often seen as a companion to Psalm 105, which focuses more purely on God's mighty deeds for Israel without emphasizing their disobedience.
