Jehu said to Bidkar, his chariot officer, “Pick him up and throw him on the field that belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite. Remember how you and I were riding together in chariots behind Ahab his father when the Lord spoke this prophecy against him:

“Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,

He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,

Lord God, do not reject your anointed one. Remember the great love promised to David your servant.”

King Joash did not remember the kindness Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had shown him but killed his son, who said as he lay dying, “May the Lord see this and call you to account.”

“Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations,

After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.”

Remember me with favor, my God, for all I have done for these people.

Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, my God, because of what they have done; remember also the prophet Noadiah and how she and the rest of the prophets have been trying to intimidate me.

They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore you did not desert them,

Remember me for this, my God, and do not blot out what I have so faithfully done for the house of my God and its services.

Then I commanded the Levites to purify themselves and go and guard the gates in order to keep the Sabbath day holy. Remember me for this also, my God, and show mercy to me according to your great love.

Remember them, my God, because they defiled the priestly office and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.

I also made provision for contributions of wood at designated times, and for the firstfruits. Remember me with favor, my God.

Later when King Xerxes’ fury had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what he had decreed about her.

These days should be remembered and observed in every generation by every family, and in every province and in every city. And these days of Purim should never fail to be celebrated by the Jews—nor should the memory of these days die out among their descendants.

Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again.

Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?

“If only you would hide me in the grave and conceal me till your anger has passed! If only you would set me a time and then remember me!

The womb forgets them, the worm feasts on them; the wicked are no longer remembered but are broken like a tree.

Remember to extol his work, which people have praised in song.

If you lay a hand on it, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!

For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.

May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.
