The Lord Will

Psalm 106:20

β€œThus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 106

Meaning

The satire exposes the absurdity of replacing the living God with a dependent creature represented by human craft.

Wilderness rebellion and intercession

The psalm remembers craving, envy, judgment, the golden calf, and Moses standing in the breach.

Read carefully

The psalm is Israel's confession of its own failure, not permission for dehumanizing ridicule.
