Study note
Setting — The speaker addresses the offspring of Israel and the sons of Jacob, issuing a corporate call to worship during the assembly surrounding the ark.
The words — The Hebrew imperative זִכְר֗וּ (zikh.Ru) commands "remember," while מֹפְתָ֖י/ו (mo.fe.Ta/v) denotes "His wonders" or "marvels," anchoring the verse in active recollection of divine acts.
The thread — The Psalter echoes these themes separately: Psalms 111:4 highlights remembered wonders, Psalms 103:2 urges remembrance of kind deeds, and Psalms 119:20 focuses on longing for divine judgments.
Why it lands — The text commands deliberate recollection of both God's past interventions and His spoken decrees, requiring the reader to anchor present faith in recorded history and authority.
