Commentary on Psalms 106:7

Theological / Devotional

Understood not. Their lack of careful consideration of God’s judgments upon Egypt caused the fathers to forget His mercies (see Deut. 32:28, 29). Like the Israelites, we are prone to accept God’s blessings as mere matter of fact, not allowing these tokens of beneficence to make any lasting impression on us.

Provoked him. The first of the eight acts of transgression (see on v. 6; see Ex. 14:11, 12).
