I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
To remember the works of the Lord and His wonders of old is to keep in mind how He has led His people and taught them through past history. Those works and wonders include His acts of deliverance and His promises to Israel, which are not confined to one people or one time but may be claimed by later people who need them, as David claimed them for himself. Recalling that history shows that God's ways, though mysterious, are merciful and good, in keeping with the character He revealed to Moses.
Remembering what God has done strengthens faith in times of darkness and discouragement. Recalling how He has led brings praise and astonishment and gives confidence in Christ as leader. The future need be feared only if that past guidance and teaching are forgotten.
