זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאוֹתָ֥יו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֑ה מֹ֝פְתָ֗יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו׃
Ingatlah perbuatan-perbuatan-Nya yang ajaib yang telah dijadikan-Nya, mukjizat-mukjizat-Nya, dan penghakiman-penghakiman yang diucapkan mulut-Nya.
Bereshit Rabbah
“The matter was greatly distressing in Abraham’s eyes, regarding his son” (Genesis 21:11).
“The matter was greatly distressing in Abraham’s eyes” – that is what is written: “And shuts his eyes from seeing evil” (Isaiah 33:15).
“God said to Abraham: Do not be distressed about the lad and about your maidservant; everything that Sarah says to you, heed her voice; for through Isaac will be called your descendants” (Genesis 21:12).
“God said to Abraham: Do not be distressed…[for through Isaac will be called your descendants]” – Rabbi Yudan said: “Isaac” is not written here, but rather, “through Isaac [beYitzḥak].”32Part, but not all, of Isaac, as Esau is not included. Rabbi Azarya in the name of bar Ḥatya: Beit is two – through the one who acknowledges the existence of two worlds.
Rabbi Yudan ben Rabbi Shalom said: It is written: “Remember the wonders He has performed, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth” (Psalms 105:5). You [God] have provided a sign by what You have expressed with Your mouth:33Translation follows version of the text of Etz Yosef. Anyone who acknowledges two worlds “will be called your descendants,” and anyone who does not acknowledge two worlds will not be called your descendants.

Midrash Tehillim
Remember His wondrous deeds that He has done, the seed of Abraham His servant, the Lord our God throughout the earth. Who is the Lord our God? His attributes are five for punishment and five for mercy, as it says, "He is a mighty hunter before the Lord" (Genesis 10:9), "He is Esau, the father of Edom" (Genesis 36:43), "He is Dathan and Abiram" (Numbers 26:9), "He is Achaz, the king" (2 Chronicles 28:22), "He is Ahasuerus" (Esther 1:1), and "He is for good" (1 Chronicles 16:34), He is Abraham (1 Chronicles 16:16), He is Moses and Aaron (Exodus 6:27), He is Ezra who ascended from Babylon (Ezra 7:6), He is Hezekiah who closed the spring of Gihon (2 Chronicles 32:30), and He is David the youngest (1 Samuel 17:14). Rabbi Berachiah said in the name of the sages, "The Holy One, blessed be He, is numbered among the righteous, as it says, 'The Lord our God throughout the earth, His judgments.'"
