Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,
God chose one people freely from all nations and bound Himself to them by covenant. He did not merely speak His promises to Abraham and his seed; He proved them true across centuries with unnumbered mercies, so that those delivered from Egypt would keep faith with Him and serve Him faithfully.

Commenting on Psalm 105:1-45
Memory is never better employed than upon God's marvellous works, yet we are far more ready to recollect foolish and evil things than to retain His glorious deeds. If we would keep these in remembrance our faith would be stronger, our gratitude warmer, our devotion more fervent. Shame upon us that we should let slip what it would seem impossible to forget.
AI summary
We must give thanks to Him as our bountiful benefactor, call upon His name for further mercies, and make known His deeds so others join us in praising Him. God's wondrous works ought to be the subject of our familiar discourse with our families and friends, not merely for entertainment, but for exciting devotion and encouraging faith and hope in God.
