Psalms 105:1-10

1 Give ye thanks to Jehovah -- call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.

2 Sing ye to Him -- sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.

3 Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.

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,

Psalms 105:1-10 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.
