Psalms 105:4-14

4 Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.

5 Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.

6 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

7 He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.

8 He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,

9 That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

10 And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,

11 Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'

12 In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.

13 And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.

14 He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.

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.
