Episode 36: Editing the story

You’ve heard some of the reasons to read Psalms 105 and 106 together; now it’s time to examine each psalm more closely, beginning with Psalm 105. It begins with David’s song of celebration at the return of the ark, then runs quickly through centuries of history: Joseph’s rise to power in Egypt; Moses and the Exodus; God’s faithfulness to the people in the wilderness. The whole psalm is a celebration of God’s faithfulness. We’ll have to wait for Psalm 106 for the story of the people’s faithlessness.
