Psalms 106:21 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 106:21

They forgat God their Saviour
Not only forgat the works of God, ( Psalms 106:13 ) , but forgat God that did those mighty works; forgat that there was a God; or however forgat him that is the only true and living God, when they said of the molten image, "these are thy gods, O Israel"; and what aggravated their crime was, they forgot that God that had saved them in so wonderful a manner out of the hand of their enemies, for his own name's sake; and had led them safely through the Red sea as on dry land, and destroyed those that hated them.

Which had done great things in Egypt:
meaning the ten plagues on the Egyptians, and the deliverance of the Israelites from them.

Psalms 106:21 In-Context

19 They made a gold bull-calf at Sinai and worshiped that idol;
20 they exchanged the glory of God for the image of an animal that eats grass.
21 They forgot the God who had saved them by his mighty acts in Egypt.
22 What wonderful things he did there! What amazing things at the Red Sea!
23 When God said that he would destroy his people, his chosen servant, Moses, stood up against God and kept his anger from destroying them.
