The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm CVI
He addeth, that God acted not according to their unbelief. “Nevertheless,” he saith, “He saved them for His Name’s sake: that He might make His power to be known” ( ver. 8 ): not on account of any deservings of their own.
