Context of Psalms 78:42
40How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert! 41And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel. They remembered not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary; 43How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan, 44And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 42They remembered not his hand - His gracious interpositions; the manifestations of his power.
