9 He rebuked the Red Sea so that it dried up on the spot - he paraded them right through! - no one so much as got wet feet!

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 106:9

Commentary on Psalm 106:6-12

(Read Psalm 106:6-12)

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.
