Salmos 105:1-8

1 Salmo 105
Den gracias al Señor
y proclamen su grandeza;
que todo el mundo sepa lo que él ha hecho.

2 Canten a él; sí, cántenle alabanzas;
cuéntenle a todo el mundo acerca de sus obras maravillosas.

3 Regocíjense por su santo nombre;
alégrense ustedes, los que adoran al Señor
.

4 Busquen al Señor
y a su fuerza,
búsquenlo continuamente.

5 Recuerden las maravillas y los milagros que ha realizado,
y los decretos que ha dictado,

6 ustedes, hijos de su siervo Abraham,
descendientes de Jacob, los elegidos de Dios.

7 Él es el Señor
nuestro Dios;
su justicia se ve por toda la tierra.

8 Siempre se atiene a su pacto,
al compromiso que adquirió con mil generaciones.

Salmos 105:1-8 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.
