Context Summary
Psalm 106:6–12 looks back on Israel's fear and doubt before crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:11–12). The nation was rescued from slavery through miracles (Exodus 3:20; 12:41).

Chapter Summary
The psalmist calls on the people to worship God because of His loyal, merciful love for the nation of Israel. Evidence of this love is given in the form of Israel's many national sins. These included many acts of faithlessness during the exodus from Egypt, and cycles of idolatry during the conquest of Canaan. Even so, the Lord preserved the nation rather than destroying it. The song closes with another prayer for rescue and a blessing directed at God.
