Psalm 106:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 106:4

Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto
thy people
The Lord has a special and peculiar people, whom he has chosen, taken into covenant, given to his Son, redeemed by him, who are called by grace, and brought to glory: to these he bears a peculiar favour, loves with an everlasting love; which he has shown in the choice of them; in the gift of his Son to them; in their regeneration, and eternal salvation. Now nothing can be more desirable than an interest in this favour, in which is life, spiritual and eternal; is the strength and security of believers, the source of their comfort, and the foundation of their happiness: to be remembered with this is to have a view of interest in it, a comfortable sensation of it, and an application of benefits by it.

O visit me with thy salvation;
a prayer, either for the coming of Christ, as God's salvation, promised, expected, and wished for; or, however, for an application of spiritual salvation to be wrought out by him; for a view of interest in it; to have the joys and comforts of it now, and the full possession of it hereafter. A gracious and desirable visit this! The ends of such requests, or of such a visit, follow:

Psalm 106:4 In-Context

2 Who can speak enough about the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can praise him as much as he should be praised?

3 Blessed are those who always do what is fair. Blessed are those who keep doing what is right.

4 Lord, remember me when you show favor to your people. Help me when you save them.

5 Then I will enjoy the good things you give your chosen ones. I will be joyful together with your people. I will join them when they praise you.

6 We have sinned, just as our people of long ago did. We too have done what is evil and wrong.
