The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:1-45
The "introduction" forms a strophe by itself. It is usual to divide the historical portion into strophes; but this can only be done arbitrarily, there being no really marked divisions. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:1-45
The testimony of history. God reveals himself in many ways; of these one is found in human history. All history may be studied, that we may understand his Divine thought and purpose; but more especially sacred history, his dealings with his ancient people. The psalmist is continually returning to this as a source of striking and convincing illustration. Among other lessons brought out by this psalm are the following:— I. HIS FAITHFULNESS . ( Psalms 105:8-11 , Psalms 105:42-44 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:1-45
He watching over Israel slumbers not nor sleeps. I. A BLESSED RETROSPECT . 1 . He knows it is blessed, because, ere the psalmist sets it down, he summons, in intensely earnest, varied, and emphatic wag, all people to give thanks unto the Lord. 2 . And he tells them wherefore they should hearken to his Word— because the Lord "hath remembered his covenant forever," etc. ( Psalms 105:8 ). 3 . Then comes the covenant history. He tells what the covenant was ( Psalms... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:2
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; or," make melody unto him" (Cheyne); i.e. praise his Name ( Psalms 105:1 ) with song and music. Talk ye of all his wondrous works (comp. Psalms 119:37 , Psalms 119:46 ), Those who are full of gratitude to God for all his mercies that he has vouchsafed them cannot refrain from speaking of his goodness when they converse with others. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:3
Glory ye in his holy Name (comp. Psalms 34:2 , "My soul shall glory in the Lord'). As worldly men glory in their strength and riches, so the saints of God glory in God. Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord (comp. Psalms 33:21 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:4
Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore. Turn to the Lord, not from him; seek his favour, his support, the light of his countenance. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:4
Successive steps heavenward. I. THE FIRST IS SEEKING THE LORD . 1 . We are slow enough to do this. We will try. as did the writer of Ecclesiastes, almost everything ere we turn to the Lord. 2 . But the Lord desires that we should. Hence the plain declarations of his Word. Also the orderings of his providence. God will not let us have rest outside of himself. He is ever stirring up our nest. Thus he would compel us to own our need of him. 3 . And there is the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:4
Seeking the Lord's face. The idea of reviewing the history is prominent, but the psalmist recognizes how much depends on the spirit in which that review is done, if any real moral and religious benefit is to be derived from it. Read it as one who is seeking for signs of the Lord's presence and power. Read it in such a mood and way that upon you shall rest signs of Divine favour. Let the result of it be that you will seek to have the shinings of the face on you, which you can see made all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:5
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done (see Psalms 105:2 ). These "wondrous works" are apter than anything else to stir up the heart to gratitude and thankfulness to God; and therefore they naturally lead on to the utterance of praise and thanksgiving. His wonders; or, "miracles"— τὰ τέρατα αὐτοῦ , LXX .—such as those touched on in Psalms 105:27-36 and Psalms 105:39-41 . And the judgments of his mouth. His sentences upon sinners, as upon the Egyptians ( Psalms... read more

God in history. "The mighty acts of Jehovah for his people from the first dawn of their national existence are recounted as a fitting subject for thankfulness, and as a ground for future obedience."
