Psalms 105:24-34

24 et pro nihilo habuerunt terram desiderabilem non crediderunt verbo eius

25 et murmurabant in tabernaculis suis non exaudierunt vocem Domini

26 et elevavit manum suam super eos ut prosterneret eos in deserto

27 et ut deiceret semen eorum in nationibus et dispergeret eos in regionibus

28 et initiati sunt Beelphegor et comederunt sacrificia mortuorum

29 et inritaverunt eum in adinventionibus suis et multiplicata est in eis ruina

30 et stetit Finees et placavit et cessavit quassatio

31 et reputatum est ei in iustitiam in generatione et generationem usque in sempiternum

32 et inritaverunt ad aquam Contradictionis et vexatus est Moses propter eos

33 quia exacerbaverunt spiritum eius et distinxit in labiis suis

34 non disperdiderunt gentes quas dixit Dominus illis

Psalms 105:24-34 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 105

This psalm was penned by David, and sung at the time when the ark was brought from the house of Obededom to the place which David had prepared for it; at least the first fifteen verses of it, the other part being probably added afterwards by the same inspired penman, as appears from 1Ch 16:1-7. The subject matter of the psalm is the special and distinguishing goodness of God to the children of Israel, and to his church and people, of which they were typical: the history of God's regard to and care of their principal ancestors, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and of the whole body of the people, in bringing them out of Egypt, leading them through the wilderness, and settling them in the land of Canaan, is here recited, as an argument for praise and thankfulness.
