SCRIPTURE

"Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation," — Psalms 106:4 (ASV)

Remember me, O Lord, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people - literally, “Remember me with the favor of thy people.” This is the language of the author of the psalm: a pious exclamation that will occur to the mind when recounting what God has done for his church, what the advantages are of being his friends, and what blessings of peace, happiness, and joy are connected with true religion.

Even the wicked sometimes have this feeling when they look upon the happy life and the peaceful death of the godly. So Balaam said, “Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!” (Numbers 23:10).

O visit me with thy salvation - Come to me with salvation; confer it upon me.
