Psalms 106:4 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Remember me, O Lord, &c. Or, us: for he may be considered as praying, either for himself, or for the church of God among the Israelites, that they, with himself, might partake of the blessedness here spoken of. With the favour that thou bearest unto thy people With those favours and blessings which thou dost usually and peculiarly confer upon thy people; meaning chiefly the pardon of their sins, by which they had brought their present miseries upon themselves, and a complete deliverance from those miseries, which they might improve to God's praise and glory, as well as to their own comfort. O visit me with thy salvation Thy great salvation, that of the soul. “Afford me,” as Dr. Hammond interprets the clause, “that pardon and that grace which I stand in need of, and can hope for from none but thee.” Let that salvation be my portion for ever, and the pledges of it my present comfort. That I may see That is, enjoy, as the next clause explains it; the good of thy chosen The good which thou usest to bestow on thy chosen people, or such as are Israelites indeed. That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation With such joy as thou hast formerly afforded to thy beloved nation, or people. That I may glory with thine inheritance That I and the congregation of thy people may have occasion to glory in thy goodness toward us.
