Context of Psalms 106:5
3God has blessed the people who obey his commands. They always do what is right. 4Lord, when you help your people, please remember me! Do not forget to help me, when you come to rescue them. I want to enjoy the good things that you give to the people that you have chosen. I want to be happy together with them. I want to join with the people who belong to you, and praise you as you deserve. 6We have done bad things, as our ancestors also did. We have done things that are wicked and evil. 7When our ancestors were in Egypt, they did not understand your miracles. They forgot the many ways that you showed them your faithful love. When they arrived at the Red Sea, they turned against you, Lord.
