Mazmur 106:21

106:21 They rejected ¹  the God who delivered them,

the one who performed great deeds in Egypt,

Mazmur 78:43

78:43 when he performed his awesome deeds ²  in Egypt,

and his acts of judgment ³  in the region of Zoan.

Mazmur 78:51

78:51 He struck down all the firstborn in Egypt,

the firstfruits of their reproductive power ⁴  in the tents of Ham.

Mazmur 106:7

106:7 Our ancestors in Egypt failed to appreciate your miraculous deeds,

they failed to remember your many acts of loyal love,

and they rebelled at the sea, by the Red Sea. ⁵ 

[106:21]  ¹ tn Heb “forgot.”

[78:43]  ² tn Or “signs” (see Ps 65:8).

[78:43]  ³ tn Or “portents, omens” (see Ps 71:7). The Egyptian plagues are referred to here (see vv. 44-51).

[78:51]  ⁴ tn Heb “the beginning of strength.” If retained, the plural form אוֹנִים (’onim, “strength”) probably indicates degree (“great strength”), but many ancient witnesses read “their strength,” which presupposes an emendation to אֹנָם (’onam; singular form of the noun with third masculine plural pronominal suffix).

[106:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “Reed Sea” (also in vv. 9, 22). “Reed Sea” (or “Sea of Reeds”) is a more accurate rendering of the Hebrew expression יָם סוּף (yam suf), traditionally translated “Red Sea.” See the note on the term “Red Sea” in Exod 13:18.

[106:7]  sn They rebelled. The psalmist recalls the people’s complaint recorded in Exod 14:12.
