Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
This verse stands within the historical record of Israel's experience in the wilderness. It is a prayer asking the Lord to remember the speaker with the favor He bears toward His own people and to visit the speaker with His salvation. That personal plea for salvation is inseparable from sharing in the prosperity of His chosen, rejoicing in their gladness, and glorying with His inheritance.
It reveals God's goodness and mercy and love, which are to be appreciated and not forgotten. It belongs together with Psalms 105, 106, and 107, which all who claim to be God's children should read with care. As part of that record it stands as a warning and lesson for God's people in the last days, and for that reason it should be studied regularly.
Together with Psalms 103, 104, 105, and 107, its words are taken up and repeated by a large company. That company keeps growing until it becomes a multitude. They pass one by one through a very narrow gate that admits no burden, not even the lightest. All who will not relinquish their idols are left behind outside that gate.
