Context of Psalms 106:7
5so 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. Our 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. 8Yet He saved them for His Name’s sake, to make His mighty power known. 9He rebuked the Sea of Reeds and it dried up, and He led them through the depths as through a wilderness.

Commentaries on Psalms 106:7
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Our fathers understood not - They did not regard the operation of God's hands; and therefore they understood neither his designs nor their own interest. At the sea, even at the Red Sea - Some of the rabbins suppose that the repetition of the words point out two faults of the Israelites at the Red Sea.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-12Verses 6-12 Here begins a confession of sin; for we must acknowledge that the Lord has done right, and we have done wickedly. We are encouraged to hope that though justly corrected, yet we shall not be utterly forsaken. God's afflicted people own themselves guilty before him. God is distrusted because his favours are not remembered. If he did not save us for his own name's sake, and to the praise of his power and grace, we should all perish.Read the comment

That God saved them in their unbelief was of His mere mercy, and for His own glory. the sea ... the Red Sea--the very words in which Moses' song celebrated the scene of Israel's deliverance (Ex 15:4).
