Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

PSALM 105

Ps 105:1-45. After an exhortation to praise God, addressed especially to the chosen people, the writer presents the special reason for praise, in a summary of their history from the calling of Abraham to their settlement in Canaan, and reminds them that their obedience was the end of all God's gracious dealings.

1. call . name-(Ps 79:6; Ro 10:13). Call on Him, according to His historically manifested glory. After the example of Abraham, who, as often as God acquired for Himself a name in guiding him, called in solemn worship upon the name of the Lord (Ge 12:8; 13:4).

among the people-or, "peoples" (Ps 18:49).

deeds-or, "wonders" (Ps 103:7).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

105:1-7 Our devotion is here stirred up, that we may stir up ourselves to praise God. Seek his strength; that is, his grace; the strength of his Spirit to work in us that which is good, which we cannot do but by strength derived from him, for which he will be sought. Seek to have his favour to eternity, therefore continue seeking it while living in this world; for he will not only be found, but he will reward those that diligently seek him.

1 An exhortation to praise God, and to seek out his works
7 The story of God's providence over Abraham
16 Over Joseph
23 Over Jacob in Egypt
26 Over Moses delivering the Israelites
37 Over the Israelites brought out of Egypt, fed in the wilderness, and planted in Canaan.

A.M. 2962, B.C. 1042. It appears from 1ch 16 where the former part of this Psalm, as far as the 16th verse is found with little variation, that David composed it at the removal of the ark to Mount Zion, and he himself probably enlarged it afterwards with the glorious detail of God's merciful dealings with Abraham and his posterity till their settlement in the land of Promise. The Hallelujah, which terminates the preceding Psalm, is made the title of this by the Septuagint, Vulgate, Arabic, and Ethiopic; and the Syriac considers it a paraphrase on the words, Fear not, Jacob, to go down into Egypt; and teaches us spiritually not to fear when we are obliged to contend with devils; for God is our shield, and will fight for us.
