Study note
Setting — The psalmist addresses the Israelite assembly, recounting the Exodus to remind them of God’s past deliverance immediately before cataloging their subsequent rebellion.
The words — The Hebrew מוֹפְתָ֗י/ו (mof.Ta/v) translates literally as “his wonders,” denoting the extraordinary, disruptive acts that accompanied the redemption.
The thread — The same historical events are cited as proof of divine power in Exodus 4:21, Exodus 3:19, and Deuteronomy 6:22, where the plagues are presented as the necessary compulsion against Pharaoh.
Why it lands — The text states that God executed specific supernatural acts in Egypt and Zoan, requiring the reader to anchor trust in documented historical intervention rather than personal experience alone.
