Remember me Lord! (Notes from Psalm 106:1-23)

Description of God:
             He is good,  His mercy endures forever (:1), Savior (:21)

Deeds of God :
           He saved them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power known.
           He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up;
           so He led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
           He saved them from the hand of him who hated them,
           and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. (:8-10)
           He gave them their request,
           But sent leanness into their soul. (:15)
           done great things in Egypt,
           Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
           Awesome things by the Red Sea.(21,22)

Failures of Israelites:      
          We have sinned with our fathers,
          We have committed iniquity,
          We have done wickedly.
          Our 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. (:6,7)
          They soon forgot His works;
          They did not wait for His counsel,
          But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
          And tested God in the desert. (:13,14)
          envy (:16)
          They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped the molded image.
          Thus they changed their glory into the image of an ox that eats grass.
          They forgot God their Savior, (:19-21)
         
Godly practices:
            give thanks to the Lord (:1)
            utter the mighty acts of the Lord
            declare all His praise (:2)
            keep justice
            do righteousness all times (:3)
            stood before Him in the breach(like Moses), to turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them. (:23)

Prayer:
            Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people.
            Oh, visit me with Your salvation,
            That 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. (:4,5)
