Study note
Setting — The psalmist addresses the descendants of Abraham and Jacob, urging them to actively seek God and recall His past actions within the context of Israel's covenant history.
The words — The Hebrew imperative זִכְר֗וּ (zikh.ru) commands "remember," directly governing נִפְלְאוֹתָיו (nif.le.'o.Tav) "His wonders" and מֹפְתָיו (mo.fe.Tav) "His signs," while מִשְפְּטֵי פִיו (mish.pe.tei Fiv) literally renders "the judgments of His mouth."
The thread — This command to recall divine wonders and spoken judgments appears in Psalms 77:11 and Psalms 119:13, while Deuteronomy 32:7 broadens the directive to remember past days and ancestral testimony.
Why it lands — The text demands active recollection of God's historical deeds and spoken decrees as a practical foundation for present obedience, directing the reader's attention to concrete past actions rather than abstract concepts.
