|<nowiki>[Psa 104:35b Praise Yah!]</nowiki>

Psa 105:1 Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.

Psa 105:2 Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.

Psa 105:3 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

Psa 105:4 Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
| Praise and prayer; expressions of devotion and loyalty to God.

*[[Worship]]

In the Hebrew Bible, the last part of the previous chapter - Praise Yah! - is connected with this psalm. With such an arrangement, this phrase would begin and end Psalm 105.
:This phrase can also be translated as: “Hallelujah.”
|-
| Psa 105:5 Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

Psa 105:6 you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

Psa 105:7 He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
| God's judgments are an expression of holiness and righteousness.

*[[The Holiness of God]]

The immediate context focuses on God's judgments against Egypt.

|-
| Psa 105:8 He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

Psa 105:9 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,

Psa 105:10 and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

Psa 105:11 saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance."
| God remembered his covenant to Abraham; that is, he did what he promised he would do.

|-
| Psa 105:12 When they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

Psa 105:13 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

Psa 105:14 He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

Psa 105:15 "Don't touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!"
| God protected the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob) as they traveled from place to place.

The example given here may be a reference to Genesis 20. We might not agree with Abraham's response in the situation; but what he feared (being killed so that the king could take his wife - v. 11) was a genuine possibility that did sometimes occur.
|-
| Psa 105:16 He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.

Psa 105:17 He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.

Psa 105:18 They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,

Psa 105:19 until the time that his word happened, and Yahweh's word proved him true.

Psa 105:20 The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

Psa 105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions;

Psa 105:22 to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

Psa 105:23 Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
| The life of Joseph, and the journey to Egypt.

A number of famines occurred in the Mideast, at that point in history. Sometimes it was a form of judgment (as with Israel, in later centuries).

*[[Famine]]

God providentially prepared things, so that Abraham's offspring would be spared (Genesis 45:7), even using the evil deeds of Joseph's brothers (Genesis 50:20).

*[[Providence]]

Another reason that God sent them to Egypt: The sins of the Canaanites weren't great enough to require their total destruction. God would graciously wait 400 years, until their wickedness reached the "point of no return."

*[[God's Grace Expressed in Judgment]]
|-
| Psa 105:24 He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.

Psa 105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.

Psa 105:26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

Psa 105:27 They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

Psa 105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words.

Psa 105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.

Psa 105:30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.

Psa 105:31 He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.

Psa 105:32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.

Psa 105:33 He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.

Psa 105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number,

Psa 105:35 ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground.

Psa 105:36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.

Psa 105:37 He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

Psa 105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.
| God's judgments on Egypt. (See the various passages in [[Exodus (Bible)|Exodus]], chapters 5 - 12, for more details.)

*[[Ecological Problems]]

*[[Miraculous Events]]

|-
| Psa 105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.

Psa 105:40 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

Psa 105:41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
| Leading Israel through the wilderness. (See the various passages in [[Exodus (Bible)|Exodus]], chapters 13, 16 and 17 for more details.)

| Psa 105:42 For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

Psa 105:43 He brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with singing.

Psa 105:44 He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,

Psa 105:45 that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws.
| (Repeat the idea stated in v. 8-11.) God remembered his covenant to Abraham, that is, he did what he promised he would do.

*[[Abrahamic Covenant]]

And why did he do this? That they might obey his commands and do what is right.
