The Old Testament Is A Story Of People's Sin And GOD's Mercy

"Alleluia!

Give thanks to YAHWEH, for HE is good, for HIS love endures forever.

Who can count YAHWEH's mighty deeds, or declare all HIS praises?

Blessed are they who always do just and right.

Remember me, O YAHWEH, when YOU show favor to YOUR people; rescue me when YOU deliver them; let me see the triumph of YOUR faithful; let me share the joy of YOUR nation; and join YOUR people in praising YOU.

- Psalm 106:1-5

(It is not only praise that the remembrance of our past calls forth: the story of the Old Testament is a story of people's sin and GOD's mercy, and 'we have sinned like our ancestors'.  We join with our ancestors in confessing it.  To have sinned is not fatal; but to fail to acknowledge it, is.  This cuts us from the people of GOD, the people redeemed, the people of GOD's mercy.

With this psalm, we recognize ourselves sinners before GOD, sinners as our parents, and we expect to be saved by grace.)
