Context of Psalms 106:5

3Blessed are those who maintain justice, who do what is right at all times. 4Remember me, Adonai, when You show favor to Your people. Visit me with Your salvation, so I may behold the prosperity of Your chosen ones, exult in the joy of Your nation, and give praise with Your inheritance. 6We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly. 7Our fathers in Egypt did not ponder Your wonders. Nor did they remember Your abundant lovingkindness, but rebelled by the sea— at the Sea of Reeds.
