Musar su Salmi 9:7
הָֽאוֹיֵ֨ב ׀ תַּ֥מּוּ חֳרָב֗וֹת לָ֫נֶ֥צַח וְעָרִ֥ים נָתַ֑שְׁתָּ אָבַ֖ד זִכְרָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה׃
O nemico, i luoghi desolati sono finiti per sempre; E le città che hai sradicato, il loro stesso memoriale è perito.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
זכור את אשר עשה לך עמלק … לא תשכח . I have found that the Torah divides this commandment into two halves. When the Jewish people are politically independent and strong, the part of the commandment we are obligated to fulfill is "to wipe out the memory of Amalek." When we are politically impotent we must still fulfill the part of the commandment which bids us "not to forget." One performs this part by cursing the name of Amalek and what that nation stands for.
