Psalms 105:32-42

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

35 et commixti sunt inter gentes et didicerunt opera eorum

36 et servierunt sculptilibus eorum et factum est illis in scandalum

37 et immolaverunt filios suos et filias suas daemoniis

38 et effuderunt sanguinem innocentem sanguinem filiorum suorum et filiarum *suarum; quas sacrificaverunt sculptilibus Chanaan et interfecta est terra in sanguinibus

39 et contaminata est in operibus eorum et fornicati sunt in adinventionibus suis

40 et iratus est furore Dominus in populo suo et abominatus est hereditatem suam

41 et tradidit eos in manus gentium et dominati sunt eorum qui oderant eos

42 et tribulaverunt eos inimici eorum et humiliati sunt sub manibus eorum

Psalms 105:32-42 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.
