PSALM 105

PSALM 105

The previous psalm extols the Creator, while this one exalts the Redeemer and His providential care for His people, Israel.

His deeds (1–6). When you read the history of Israel, you are encouraged by God’s mighty and marvelous deeds wrought for His needy people (Rom. 15:4). You want to praise Him, rejoice in Him, seek Him, and tell others about Him.

His covenant (7–15). God bound Himself by an oath to only one nation, Israel. He gave His promise to Abraham (Gen. 12:1–3) and then reaffirmed it to his descendants. The covenant was their assurance that they would inherit the land. God’s new covenant people have the assurance that their future inheritance is secure (Matt. 26:26–29; Heb. 8:6–13).

His servants (16–45). God sent Joseph to Egypt to preserve Jacob’s family so they could become a nation. He sent Moses to Egypt to deliver His people. He sent Aaron to assist Moses and serve as high priest for a sinful people. God always has a man or woman ready to send when a job must be done. He waits to hear you say, “Here am I! Send me!” (Isa. 6:8).
