A Call to Remember

Scholars point out a subtle but significant change from the source psalm. While Psalm 105:8 declares that God "has remembered" His covenant, the Chronicler here changes it to a command for the people: "Remember his covenant." This shifts the focus from a statement of God's faithfulness to an urgent exhortation for Israel to actively recall and live by that faithfulness.
