6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly. 7 Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph. 8 And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might, 9 And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness. 10 And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy. 11 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left. 12 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,

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.
