Context of Psalms 106:5

3Blessed are those who defend justice and do what is right at all times. 4Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people. Come to help me with your salvation so that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, find joy in our people’s happiness, and brag with the people who belong to you. 6We have sinned, and so did our ancestors. We have done wrong. We are guilty. 7When our ancestors were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles. They did not remember your numerous acts of mercy, so they rebelled at the sea, the Red Sea.
