Episode 39: The last word

God’s history of faithfulness to his people demands their faithful response in return. But Psalm 106 recalls episode after episode of sin and rebellion, culminating in the people being conquered by Assyria and Bablyon and taken away into captivity. But that is not the end of the story. The psalmist still believes in and prays for God’s mercy, and in hope, the psalm ends on a note of praise.
