Psaume 106:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 106:12

Then believed they his words
And not till then; for this is observed, not to their commendation, but to show the slowness of their hearts to believe; they believed on sight, but not before, as Thomas did; whereas, "blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed", ( John 20:29 ) . When they saw the Egyptians dead on the sea shore, then they believed the Lord, and his servant Moses; what he said by his servant Moses, that he would save them from the Egyptians, whom they should see no more, that is, alive, ( Exodus 14:13 Exodus 14:14 Exodus 14:31 ) . The Targum is,

``and they believed in the name of his Word.''

They sang his praise;
Moses with the men, and Miriam with the women; the song is recorded ( Exodus 15:1-22 ) and thus when the people of God have got the victory over the antichristian beast, they will stand on a sea of glass and sing the song of Moses and of the Lamb, ( Revelation 15:2 Revelation 15:3 ) .

Psaume 106:12 In-Context

10 Il les sauva de la main de celui qui les haïssait, Il les délivra de la main de l'ennemi.
11 Les eaux couvrirent leurs adversaires: Il n'en resta pas un seul.
12 Et ils crurent à ses paroles, Ils chantèrent ses louanges.
13 Mais ils oublièrent bientôt ses oeuvres, Ils n'attendirent pas l'exécution de ses desseins.
14 Ils furent saisis de convoitise dans le désert, Et ils tentèrent Dieu dans la solitude.
