Context of Psalms 106:6
4Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation, 5That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance. We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, We have done wickedly. 7Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea. 8Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, That He might make His mighty power known.
