Psalms 105 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
JV McGee
Psalms 105 is a song of thanksgiving, recalling with gratitude God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (v. 8~12), His guidance of Israel into Egypt, with special reference to the history of Joseph (v. 13~23), His goodness to them there in the days of oppression (v. 24~25), His deliverance wrought through Moses and Aaron by means of the plagues (v. 26~38), His mercies in the wilderness (v. 39~41), and finally His gift of Canaan to His people in fulfilment of His ancient promise (v. 42~45).

The master word in the psalm is the pronoun "He." In constant repetition it shows the one thought uppermost in the mind of the singer. It is that of perpetual activity of God in all those experiences through which His people have passed. Verse 105:25 commences with a statement which is almost startling: "He turned their heart to hate his people". The Egyptians began to oppress God’s people and impose hard slave labor on them. We see the LORD directing the history of the people in such a way that the people needed redemption. Here we are taught the truth that God’s people are a people in need of redemption.
