📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from Psalm 106, which recounts Israel's history of rebellion and God's faithful responses. The psalm describes how despite Israel's repeated disobedience and idolatry, God consistently remembered his covenant promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The word 'repented' here means God relented from judgment, not that he had done wrong, but that he showed mercy instead of continuing punishment.
