Psalms 106:7-48
ancestors <01> [Our.]
remember <02142> [they.]
many <07230> [multitude.]
rebelled <04784> [but.]
delivered <03467> [he saved.]
power <01369> [that he.]
shouted <01605> [He rebuked.]
In the descriptions of the Psalmist, everything has life. The sea is an animated being, behaves itself proudly, is rebuked, and retires in confusion.
<03212> [so he.]
delivered <03467> [And he.]
rescued <01350> [redeemed.]
quickly forgot <04116 07911> [They soon forgat. Heb. They made haste, they forgat.]
Three days afterwards, at the waters of Marah.
wait <02442> [waited.]
craving <0183> [But.]
insatiable craving <08378 0183> [lusted exceedingly. Heb. lusted a lust. tempted.]
granted <05414> [he gave.]
struck <07971> [but sent.]
They despised the manna, calling it light or innutritive food. God gave them flesh as they desired, but no blessing accompanied it; and, in consequence, they did not fatten, but grew lean upon it; and many, surfeited by excess, died of disease. Instead of {razon,} "leanness," however, Bp. Lowth supposes we should read {zeraâ€n,} "nausea or loathing," which appears to be supported by several ancient versions, and by Nu 11:20, where this portion of the history of the Israelites is recorded, and where the word {zara} is used, and rendered, "it be loathsome."
resented <07065> [envied.]
holy priest <06918> [the saint.]
traded <04171> [Thus.]
majestic <03519> [their glory.]
That is, their God, who ought to have been the peculiar object of their glory.
image <08403> [into.]
rejected <07911> [forgat.]
God <0410> [God.]
performed <06213> [which.]
amazing <06381> [Wondrous.]
The plagues he inflicted on the Egyptians. Egypt is called the land of Ham, or rather, Cham, because it was peopled by Mizraim the son of Ham, and grandson of Noah. Plutarch informs us, that the Egyptians called their country [Chemia,] Chemia; and the Copts give it the name of Chemi, [Chemi,] to the present day.
acts <03372> [terrible.]
threatened <0559> [he said.]
chosen one <0972> [his chosen.]

<05375> [lifted.]
die <05307> [overthrow. Heb. make them fall. to scatter.]
worshiped <06775> [joined.]
dead <04191> [of the dead.]
The word {maithim} signifies dead men; for the idols of the heathen were generally men,--warriors, kings, or lawgivers,-- who had been deified after their death; though many of them had been execrated during their life.

snare <04170> [which.]

However unnatural and horrid human sacrifices may appear, it is certain, that they did not only exist, but almost universally prevailed in the heathen world, especially among the Canaanites and Phoenicians.
