He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORDis gracious and full of compassion.
He has caused His wonderful works to be remembered, establishing a memorial by which they are kept in mind. The Lord made known by those works is gracious and full of compassion. His protecting care and love appear in practical providences such as a calm sea and good weather granted during a journey.
The surrounding passage enlarges this picture, declaring His works great, honorable and glorious, and marked by enduring righteousness. It joins to this His provision for those who fear Him, His mindfulness of His covenant, His power, and His sure commandments. Reverence belongs to God alone, and not to sinful people who claim divine honor for themselves.
The appointed way to keep His acts in remembrance is the seventh-day Sabbath, hallowed at creation and given to Adam as a day of rest. As a memorial of the work of creation it keeps His creative power and love in mind, and stands as a sign of His power and love. Created things themselves reveal His invisible qualities, including His everlasting power and divinity. Because all things were created by the Son of God, the Sabbath is a token of the love and power of Christ.
His remembering care is pictured in Christ as the great High Priest, who remembers His people and the encouraging words that lead them to trust.
