Psaume 105:1-9

1 Célébrez l'Éternel; invoquez son nom; faites connaître parmi les peuples ses hauts faits!
2 Chantez-lui, psalmodiez-lui; parlez de toutes ses merveilles!
3 Glorifiez-vous de son saint nom; que le cœur de ceux qui cherchent l'Éternel se réjouisse!
4 Recherchez l'Éternel et sa force; cherchez continuellement sa face!
5 Souvenez-vous des merveilles qu'il a faites, de ses miracles et des jugements de sa bouche;
6 Vous, postérité d'Abraham, son serviteur, enfants de Jacob, ses élus!
7 C'est lui, l'Éternel, qui est notre Dieu; ses jugements sont sur toute la terre.
8 Il se souvient à jamais de son alliance, de sa promesse établie pour mille générations;
9 Du traité qu'il fit avec Abraham, et du serment qu'il fit à Isaac,

Psaume 105:1-9 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.
