Psalms 105
Book of Psalms
Psalms 105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his
deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the
LORD.
4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the
judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded
to a thousand generations.
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your
inheritance:
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers
in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another
people;
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their
sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole
staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let
him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their
enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his
servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his
word.
-
Darkness. This was the ninth plague (Ex 10:21).
-
All are not mentioned, not being needed.
-
This is put first for the purpose implied in the next line.
-
They rebelled not: Israel did not rebel against the command for
circumcision.
-
According to Ex 12:48, no uncircumcised person could eat the Passover.
-
This is implied in Josh 5:2 by the expression, the "second time".
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their
fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their
kings.
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their
coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of
their coasts.
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without
number,
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and
devoured the fruit of
their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their
strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one
feeble person among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon
them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the
bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry
places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with
gladness:
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour
of the people;
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the
LORD.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
