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 calf at Horeb and bowed down to a cast image.
20 And [so] they exchanged their glory for an image of an ox that eats grass.
21 They forgot God their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
22 wonders in the land of Ham, awesome deeds by {the Red Sea}.
23 So he said he would exterminate them, had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to reverse his wrath from destroying [them].
