‏ Psalms 106:7-13

v. 7: They remember how their ancestors were stubborn even while God was showing them great kindness in Egypt . The people did not understand or remember God’s miracles. Because they forgot God’s mercies, they doubted him and provoked him, even at the Red Sea (Exodus 14:11–12 ^a).

v. 8: But God saved them for his own name’s sake, to show his power . Even though they did not deserve it, God wanted the world to see his greatness, both in his miracles and in his forgiveness.

v. 9: God rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up so that the Israelites could pass through as if it were dry land . God led them safely, just as he led them through the wilderness.

v. 10: He saved them from their enemies, especially from Pharaoh who hated them . God stepped in to rescue his people from those who wanted to destroy them.

v. 11: The waters covered the Egyptians, and not one of them was left . God turned the sea into a path for Israel but into a grave for their enemies (Exodus 14:30 ^b).

v. 12: After this, the people believed God’s words and sang his praise . They trusted God and celebrated with the song of Moses (Exodus 14:31; Exodus 15:1 ^c). God’s mercy often turns our doubts into faith and our fears into songs of praise (Isaiah 29:24 ^d).

Israel’s Forgetfulness and Sin after God’s Wonders

This section describes how quickly the people of Israel forgot what God had done for them after He rescued them from Egypt. Even after experiencing great miracles and kindness from God, they failed to remember His works and turned away from His commands. The passage is a warning about the dangers of ingratitude and disobedience, and it shows how forgetting God’s blessings can lead to foolish choices and sin.

v. 13: They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel . The Israelites quickly forgot all the miracles God had done for them, like rescuing them from Egypt and providing for their needs in the wilderness. They did not trust God enough to wait for His guidance. Instead of relying on His wisdom, they made their own decisions and acted impatiently. When people forget God’s help and do not seek His direction, they are likely to make poor choices.
