Jump to Previous AgeAmenBlessedBOOKEternityEverlastingHallelujahIsraelJahPraiseYahJump to Next AgeAmenBlessedBOOKEternityEverlastingHallelujahIsraelJahPraiseYahPsalm 106 1.The psalmist exhorts to praise God4.He prays for pardon of sin, as God pardoned the fathers7.The story of the people's rebellion, and God's mercy47.He concludes with prayer and praiseBlessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.This phrase is a doxology, a short hymn of praises to God, which is common in the Psalms. The term "Blessed" signifies a deep reverence and adoration for the LORD, acknowledging His supreme authority and goodness. The title "the God of Israel" emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and the nation of Israel, highlighting His faithfulness to His chosen people throughout history. The phrase "from everlasting to everlasting" underscores God's eternal nature, affirming His existence beyond time and space, which is a central tenet of biblical theology. This eternal aspect of God is echoed in other scriptures, such as Psalm 90:2 and Isaiah 40:28, which speak of God's unchanging and everlasting nature. The phrase also points to the continuity of God's promises and His unending reign, which is fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ, who is described as the Alpha and Omega in Revelation 1:8. Let all the people say, “Amen!”
The call for all the people to say "Amen" is an invitation for communal affirmation and agreement with the praise offered to God. "Amen" is a Hebrew word meaning "truly" or "so be it," and it is used throughout the Bible to express assent to prayers and declarations. This communal response reflects the unity and collective worship of God's people, as seen in other biblical instances such asNehemiah 8:6, where the people respond with "Amen, Amen" to the reading of the Law. It signifies the congregation's acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and their commitment to His covenant. The use of "Amen" also connects to the New Testament, where it is frequently used by Jesus to emphasize the truth of His teachings (e.g.,Matthew 5:18). Hallelujah!
The term "Hallelujah" is a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase "Praise the LORD" and is a call to worship and exaltation of God. It is a compound word combining "Hallelu," meaning "praise," and "Yah," a shortened form of "Yahweh," the personal name of God. This exclamation is a fitting conclusion to the psalm, encapsulating the theme of praise that runs throughout. "Hallelujah" is used extensively in the Psalms and is a key feature of the "Hallel" psalms (Psalms 113-118), which were sung during Jewish festivals such as Passover. In the New Testament, "Hallelujah" appears inRevelation 19:1-6, where it is part of the heavenly worship celebrating God's ultimate victory and the marriage supper of the Lamb, symbolizing the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ.

What does "from everlasting to everlasting" mean?
Psalm 106:34-35 suggests Israel did not fully conquer or destroy surrounding nations--how does this align with biblical passages that claim they subdued the land completely?(48) Blessed . . .--The doxology, which is only slightly altered from that at the end of the second book, is quoted as part of the psalm in 1Chronicles 16:36--an indication that by that time this book was complete, if not the whole collection. Verse 48. - Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. This verse is not so much a part of the particular psalm, as a mark that here another Book of the Psalms has reached its conclusion (comp. Psalm 41:13; Psalm 72:19; Psalm 89:52). The form has, however, been modified so as to make it run on smoothly with the verse immediately preceding. And let all the people say. In their praises and thanks to God (see ver. 47). Amen. Praise ye the Lord. The other terminal psalms end with "Amen and Amen;" here alone do we have "Amen. Praise ye the Lord." the intention being evidently that the last words of the psalm should be an echo of the first (see ver. 1).
