Psalm 105 is a song of praise to the Lord for His longstanding kindness and mercy. God displays His power and majesty through His covenants with His people, by providing them with a land in which to live, by sending those who would communicate His words, by delivering them from those who would harm them and by supplying their needs when it looked and seemed physically impossible.
Psalm 106 continues this theme of praise for God's unending mercy. Even in times of trouble and sin, God remained faithful to His unfaithful people. The psalmist recounts many occasions when God's people failed to act as though they were God's people; yet God proved Himself great even in those times. This is not because God was unaware of their sin; but through loving correction, He uses these times to instruct His people about His character. Many times God's wrath was stirred against His people for their deeds, but time and again a godly man would intervene and repair the breach between God and His people - leading the people to a place of repentance. What a reason to praise God - for His long-suffering mercy!
