Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 106:6

"We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly." — Psalms 106:6 (ASV)

We. — We must recognize that the confession includes the speaker and his generation, as well as the ancestors of the nation. The psalm originates from the period of the Captivity, when the national conscience, or at least that of the more devout part of the nation, was fully aware of the sinfulness of idolatry.
