These two psalms are very similar, they are psalms of praise that rejoice in who God is by remembering his promises and goodness to his people in the past. In Psalm 105 we are called to ' Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles and the judgements he pronounced.' and God himself 'He remembers his covenant for ever the word he commanded for a thousand generations.' God does not forget his promise to his people and we therefore must trust him, remembering his actions in the past and knowing that he will see his promises through.
Psalm 105 remembers Abraham, Joseph, Egypt and Gods provision of the land.
Psalm 106 remembers the rescue from Egypt, the peoples betrayal at Horeb, the peoples baal worship in the land and Gods anger with them for disobeying him as well as his grace in delivering them from his judgement. 'But he took note of their distress when he heard their cry for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.'
Psalm 106 is the last PSalm in book 4 and ends with this phrase:
'Praise be to the LORD the God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say Amen!
Praise the Lord'
