Teaching Points The Call to PraiseThe word "Hallelujah" is a command to praise the LORD. It is derived from the Hebrew "halal" (to praise) and "Yah" (a shortened form of Yahweh). This call to worship is not just an invitation but a directive for believers to actively engage in praising God. Thanksgiving as a Lifestyle Giving thanks to the LORD should be a continual practice for believers. Recognizing God's goodness in our daily lives helps cultivate a heart of gratitude and aligns us with His will. Understanding God's Goodness The Hebrew word for "good" (tov) encompasses moral goodness, kindness, and benevolence. God's goodness is intrinsic to His nature and is a reason for our trust and worship. The Endurance of God's Love The phrase "His loving devotion endures forever" uses the Hebrew word "chesed," which signifies steadfast love, mercy, and covenant faithfulness. This assures believers of God's unchanging love and commitment to His people.

(1-5) These verses form an introduction to the psalm, and make it evident that while the writer spoke as one of a community, and for the community, he still felt his personal relation to Jehovah. (1) This formula of praise in the Jewish Church occupied, as a choral refrain, a similar position to the Gloria Patri in Christian worship. The precise date of its first appearance cannot be ascertained. The chronicler includes it in the compilation from different psalms, which he introduces as sung when the Ark was brought to Zion (1Chronicles 16:34): and represents it not only as chanted by the procession of priests and Levites, but as bursting spontaneously from the lips of the assembled multitudes at the dedication of Solomon's Temple (2Chronicles 7:3). He mentions it also in connection with Jehoshaphat's revival of choral music. And it is probable that he was not guilty of any great anachronism in giving it this early existence; for Jeremiah speaks of it as a refrain as familiar as those customary at weddings (Jeremiah 33:11), and, indeed, foretells its revival as of a practice once common, but long disused. But the fact that it is found in four liturgical hymns, besides Psalms 136, where it becomes a refrain after every verse, as well as its express mention in Ezra 3:11 as used at the dedication of the second Temple, shows that its use became more general after the Captivity; and it was in use in the Maccabaean period (1 Maccabees 4:24). . . . Verse 1. - Praise ye the Lord (comp. Psalm 104:35; Psalm 105:45). O give thanks unto the Lord (so in Psalm 105:1). Even in their greatest afflictions, the Israelites were bound to give God thanks. His mercies always exceeded his punishments. For he is good (see the comment on Psalm 100:5). For his mercy eudureth forever. According to Chronicles, this phrase was used at the dedication of David's tabernacle (1 Chronicles 16:34, 41), and again at the dedication of the temple (2 Chronicles 5:13). It here first occurs in the Psalms. Psalm 106:1 calls God’s people to erupt in praise, express heartfelt thanks, celebrate His absolute goodness, and rest in His never-ending, covenant love. Because these truths are timeless and certain, every believer—regardless of season or circumstance—can join the chorus: “Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.”Parallel Commentaries ...
