Context of Psalms 106:5

3Blessed are those who observe justice [by honoring God’s precepts], Who practice righteousness at all times. 4Remember me, O Lord, when You favor Your people. Visit me with Your salvation [when You rescue them], That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance. 6We have sinned like our fathers; We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly. 7Our fathers in Egypt did not understand nor appreciate Your miracles; They did not remember the abundance of Your mercies nor imprint Your lovingkindnesses on their hearts, But they were rebellious at the sea, at the Red Sea.
