Psalm 106:4

Modern

Traditional

Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

Remember me, O YHWH, in favor to Your people; attend to me with Your salvation,

Latin

Memento nostri, Domine, in beneplacito populi tui; visita nos in salutari tuo:

Hebrew

English

Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,

The poet prays individually for the Lord’s favor before leading the community confession that follows.

The Israelite community in exile confessed the Lord’s goodness and justice and their own past sins. From their humble state in exile, they asked for redemption and restoration. They hoped to be gathered back from all the places the Lord had scattered them in his anger.
The psalm ends with a memory of the Lord’s past mercy and hope for renewed mercy (Psalm 106:44–48). Israel failed, but the Lord remains constant.
Verses 1, 47–48 (along with Psalms 96; 105:1–15) are included in David’s song of praise recorded in 1 Chronicles 16:1–43.
