Salmi 105:1-7

1 Celebrate l’Eterno, invocate il suo nome; fate conoscere le sue gesta fra popoli.

2 Cantategli, salmeggiategli, meditate su tutte le sue maraviglie.

3 Gloriatevi nel santo suo nome; si rallegri il cuore di quelli che cercano l’Eterno!

4 Cercate l’Eterno e la sua forza, cercate del continuo la sua faccia!

5 Ricordatevi delle maraviglie ch’egli ha fatte, de’ suoi miracoli e dei giudizi della sua bocca,

6 o voi, progenie d’Abrahamo, suo servitore, figliuoli di Giacobbe, suoi eletti!

7 Egli, l’Eterno, è l’Iddio nostro; i suoi giudizi s’esercitano su tutta la terra.

Salmi 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.
