"They made a calf at Horeb and worshiped the molten image.
They exchanged the glory of GOD for the image of a bull that eats grass.
They forgot their Savior GOD, who had done great things in Egypt, wonderful works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Sea of Reeds.
So HE spoke of destroying them, but Moses, HIS chosen one, stood in the breach before HIM to shield them from destruction."
- Psalm 106:19-23
(It is not only praise that the remembrance of our past calls forth: the story of the Old Testament is a story of people's sin and GOD's mercy, and 'we have sinned like our ancestors'.
With this psalm, we recognize ourselves sinners before GOD, sinners as our parents, and we expect to be saved by grace.)
