The Saviour

Psalms 106:19-23

Psalms 106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

106:21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
[KJV]

This part of Psalm 106 tells about how the Israelites made a golden calf to worship while Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the Old Testament Law from God (see Exodus 32). God was their saviour, but they forgot Him, and turned to idolatry.
