זָכְרָה־לִּ֥י אֱלֹהַ֖י לְטוֹבָ֑ה כֹּ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֖יתִי עַל־הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּֽה׃ (פ)
Gedenke mir, mein Gott, zum Guten alles, was ich für dieses Volk getan habe!
Mishneh Torah, Shofar, Sukkah and Lulav
We may not mention malkhiot, zikhronot and shofarot of punishment — such as [in] zikhronot, "And all flesh shall remember that, etc." (Psalms 78:39); [in] malkhiot, "with outpoured anger shall I rule over you" (Ezekiel 20:33); [and in] shofarot, "Blow the shofar on the mountain, etc." (Hosea 5:8). Nor [may we mention] the remembrance of an individual — even if it was for good — such as "Remember me, O Lord, in the desire of Your people" (Psalms 106:4); and "Remember me, my God, for the good" (Nehemiah 13:31). And recollections (pikdonot) — such as "I have surely recalled you" (Exodus 3:16) — are not the same as remembrances. But one may mention the punishment of idolatrous nations, such as "The Lord reigned, nations tremble" (Psalms 99:1); "Remember the day of Jerusalem to the Children of Edom" (Psalms 137:7); [and] "the Lord, God, will blow with the shofar, and go in the storms of the south" (Zechariah 9:14). All of these verses: "Hear Israel, the Lord, our God, the Lord is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4); "You have been shown to know" (Deuteronomy 4:35); "And you shall know today and place upon your hearts, etc." (Deuteronomy 4:39) — their content is kingship. Even though there is no mention of kingship [in them], it is surely like, "The Lord will reign forever and ever" (Exodus 15:18); [and] "And then He became King in Jeshurun, etc." (Deuteronomy 33:5).
