Thankful Praises to God; Mercies Recollected

In these verses, the psalmist remembers and gives thanks for the great things God has done for His people in the past. When God gives us new blessings, we should also remember and be grateful for the blessings He gave before. The psalmist looks back at how God guided, protected, and provided for Israel, and how He lifted them from a low place to a place of honor.

v. 7: God Himself led Israel through the wilderness. After freeing them from slavery, He did not leave them alone in a dry land. Instead, He went before them in a march through the wilderness . With God as their leader, they traveled safely, like an army with banners. If God leads us into a hard place, He will also guide us through it (Song of Solomon 8:5 ^a).

v. 8: At Mount Sinai, God showed His glorious presence. The earth shook, and there were loud thunders and rain, showing God’s power . Even the mountain itself moved at God’s presence (Judges 5:4-5 ^b). This display of power made the people respect and trust God. If God can move mountains, He can help us overcome any difficulty (Deuteronomy 4:32-33 ^c).
