Context of Psalms 106:5
3Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times. 4Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation, That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance. 6We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
