Discovery BoxPsalms 106:6-8 
Context106:6 We have sinned like 1 our ancestors; 2
we have done wrong, we have done evil.
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. 3
106:8 Yet he delivered them for the sake of his reputation, 4
that he might reveal his power.
1 tn Heb “with.”
2 tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 7).
3 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.
sn They rebelled. The psalmist recalls the people’s complaint recorded in Exod 14:12.
4 tn Heb “his name,” which here stands metonymically for God’s reputation.
