Psalm 105:1-7

1 Preiset Jehova, rufet an seinen Namen, machet kund unter den Völkern seine Taten!

2 Singet ihm, singet ihm Psalmen; sinnet über alle seine Wunderwerke!

3 Rühmet euch seines heiligen Namens! Es freue sich das Herz derer, die Jehova suchen!

4 Trachtet nach Jehova und seiner Stärke, suchet sein Angesicht beständig!

5 Gedenket seiner Wunderwerke, die er getan hat, seiner Wunderzeichen und der Gerichte seines Mundes!

6 Du Same Abrahams, seines Knechtes, ihr Söhne Jakobs, seine Auserwählten!

7 Er, Jehova, ist unser Gott; seine Gerichte sind auf der ganzen Erde.

Psalm 105:1-7 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.
