Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
Psalm 106:8 belongs to the historical record and account of Israel's experience. That history includes Israel under the cloud and through the sea, baptized unto Moses, eating the same spiritual meat and drinking the same spiritual drink from Christ the Rock, yet overthrown in the wilderness because God was not well pleased with them. The verse refers to God saving Israel at the Red Sea despite their rebellion and sin, for His name's sake in order to make His mighty power known. That saving act meant rebuking the sea, drying it up, leading Israel through it, and rescuing them from their enemies, after which they believed His words and sang His praise.
The verse reveals God's goodness, mercy, and love in saving His people. Studying and carefully reading this record helps all who claim to be God's children to appreciate that goodness, mercy, and love. The record gives lessons of warning that God's people in the last days especially need to study. Psalms 105 and 106 should therefore be read at least once every week.
