"... The final illustrative text I will consider is Psalm 106:7–8. This text is an excellent example of how various motive statement themes can be woven together for great effect. Psalm 106:7 details the sins of Israel beginning in Egypt. These sins include: the failure to consider YHWH’s wonderful acts, a lack of remembrance of his abundant חסד ('lovingkindness), and rebellion. The center point of the three, the failure to remember YHWH’s abundant חסד is extremely poignant from a motive perspective. Roughly 5% of the passages in our study contain זכר ('to remember'). The uses include YHWH’s remembrance of the covenant (Exodus 6:5; Deuteronomy 9:27; Jeremiah 14:21; Psalm 105:42), of his fatherly relationship with Israel (Jeremiah 31:20), of Jeremiah’s faithful service (Jeremiah 18:20), YHWH’s not remembering sin (Isaiah 43:25; Psalm 25:7; 79:8), and the appeal to YHWH to remember mercy and חסד (Psalm 25:6–7). If we expand our search to include the use of חסד without remembering we find its positive use in motive statements in Deuteronomy 7:12; 1 Kings 3:6; Jeremiah 9:23; 31:3; Hosea 6:6; Micah 7:18; Psalm 6:5; 25:6–7; 44:27; 69:17; 103:11; 106:7; 109:21; 143:12; and Lamentations 3:32 ... YHWH would act for the sake of his name in order that his power might be “acknowledged, a key motif in the exodus story and in Ezekiel (Exodus 14:4, 18; Ezekiel 20:26, 38, 42, 44) and an aim for the deliverance the psalm longs for.” ..."
