74:12-17 But You Have Done Wonders in the Past. The next section recalls God's mighty deeds from the past, in which he has worked salvation (see note on 18:50), including the exodus from Egypt and the journey through the wilderness (74:12-15), and God's creation and governance of the whole world (vv. 16-17). The OT is constantly reminding its readers that the God who chose Israel to be his people is in fact the very same God who made everything there is. This is the wonder of being Israel; the point of mentioning it here is to show how wrong it is for the Gentiles to disdain this God.
