Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Remember his marvelous works - The works suited to excite wonder. Call them to remembrance in your psalm; seek the aid of music and song to impress the memory of them deeply on your hearts.
His wonders - His miracles. See Psalm 78:43, note; Isaiah 8:18, note.
And the judgments of his mouth - That is, properly, the judgments which he pronounced on his enemies, and which were followed by their overthrow. The word does not refer here, as it often does, to his statutes or commands.

Remember his marvellous works - Keep up communion with thy Maker, that thou mayest neither forget him nor his works.
The judgments of his mouth - Whatsoever he has spoken concerning good or evil. His commands, promises, threatenings; and particularly what he has foretold, and what he has done.

Remember his (c) marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the (d) judgments of his mouth;
(c) Which he has wrought in the deliverance of his people.
(d) Because his power was declared living by this, as if he would have declared it by mouth.

Remember his marvellous works which he hath done,.... Which Aben Ezra interprets of the works of creation; rather they seem to design the works of Providence in favour of the children of Israel: best of all, works of grace done for his saints, none of which are to be forgotten; especially the great work of redemption and salvation, for the remembrance of which, under the New Testament, an ordinance is particularly appointed.
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth: the above Jewish writer, by "wonders", understands the miracles in Egypt, the plagues inflicted on the Egyptians;
and by the judgments of his mouth, the laws and statutes given at Sinai: each of which were indeed to be remembered: but "his wonders" may take in all the wonderful things done in Egypt and in the wilderness, and in settling the Israelites in the land of Canaan; and "his judgments" may also intend the judgments which he threatened to bring upon the enemies of Israel, and which he did bring upon them as he said. The wonders of his grace, of his law and Gospel, his judgments and his testimonies, are not to be forgotten.

judgments . . . mouth--His judicial decisions for the good and against the wicked.

Judgments - The punishments which he brought upon Egypt by his mere word.
