Tell of His Wonders (1 Chronicles 16:7–22) 1Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations. 2Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders. 3Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 4Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always. 5Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced, 6O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones. 7He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth. 8He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations— 9the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac. 10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant: 11“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.” 12When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land, 13they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. 14He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf: 15“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!” 16He called down famine on the land and cut off all their suppliesa of food. 17He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave. 18They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons, 19until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right. 20The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free. 21He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance, 22to instructb his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom. 23Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham. 24And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes, 25whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants. 26He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen. 27They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.c 29He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die. 30Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers. 31He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country. 32He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land. 33He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country. 34He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number. 35They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil. 36Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor. 37He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled. 38Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them. 39He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night. 40They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert. 42For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant. 43He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy. 44He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor, 45that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws.

Bible Hub Psalm 105 Summary Tell of His Wonders Verses 1–6 – Call to Remember and Praise The psalm opens with an energetic summons: “Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations” (v. 1). Worship, testimony, and joyful song are woven together. Israel is urged to “remember the wonders He has done” (v. 5), and to see itself as the chosen offspring of Abraham and Jacob (v. 6). Verses 7–11 – God’s Unbreakable Promise The singer turns to God’s covenant. He “remembers His covenant forever” (v. 8), the oath sworn to Abraham, confirmed to Isaac, and established with Jacob as “an everlasting covenant” (v. 10). The land of Canaan is identified as the concrete pledge. Verses 12–15 – Patriarchs Protected While Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were “few in number, strangers” (v. 12), God protected them. He rebuked kings—Pharaoh in Genesis 12, Abimelech in Genesis 20 and 26—saying, “Touch not My anointed ones” (v. 15). Verses 16–22 – Joseph Sent Ahead A sudden famine is introduced, yet God “sent a man before them—Joseph” (v. 17). Betrayed, imprisoned, then exalted to rule, Joseph becomes the agent who “opened wide the prison doors” and “taught [Pharaoh’s] elders wisdom” (vv. 20–22). Verses 23–25 – Israel Grows in Egypt Jacob’s family arrives in Egypt and “the LORD made His people very fruitful” (v. 24). A new Pharaoh rises, turning affection into oppression (v. 25). Verses 26–38 – Mighty Deliverance God “sent Moses His servant, and Aaron” (v. 26). The psalm lists nine of the ten plagues—darkness, blood, frogs, flies, locusts, hail, and the death of the firstborn—culminating in the Israelites’ departure laden with Egypt’s silver and gold (v. 37). Verses 39–41 – Wilderness Gifts A cloud for shade, fire for light, quail for meat, and water from the split rock showcase day-by-day care (vv. 39–41). Verses 42–45 – Promise Kept, Purpose Given The closing lines circle back: God “remembered His holy promise” (v. 42), brought Israel to the promised land, and gave it so “they might keep His statutes and observe His laws” (v. 45). Praise again crowns the story. Psalm 105 is a song of praise, commemorating God's deeds and miracles, displaying His faithfulness to the children of Israel. It serves as a constant reminder of His unwavering dedication towards His covenant with His chosen ones, highlighting His intervention during their times of need and despair. Authorship and Setting Psalm 105 carries no superscription, yet its first fifteen verses appear in David’s song when the ark was moved to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 16:8-22). That link suggests a Davidic context, even if the final form may have been adapted for later temple worship. The psalm was crafted for corporate praise, reminding every generation of God’s faithfulness. Literary Structure and Flow 1. Call to praise (vv. 1-6) 2. Covenant promise (vv. 7-11) 3. Patriarch accounts (vv. 12-15) 4. Joseph narrative (vv. 16-22) 5. Israel in Egypt (vv. 23-25) 6. Exodus plagues (vv. 26-38) 7. Wilderness provision (vv. 39-41) 8. Settlement and purpose (vv. 42-45) The structure is chronological, guiding worshipers through the account line of Genesis and Exodus. Every scene magnifies God’s initiative and Israel’s privilege to respond. Historical Timeline in the Psalm - Genesis 12-50: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph - Exodus 1-12: Oppression and plagues - Exodus 13-40 & Numbers 9-21: Cloud, fire, quail, and water - Joshua 1-24: Entry into Canaan Each step shows roughly six centuries of history compressed into forty-five verses. Covenant Themes The covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3), formally cut in Genesis 15 and reaffirmed in Genesis 17 and 26, fuels the psalm. God’s faithfulness to the land promise, the seed promise, and the blessing to nations is highlighted. Psalm 105 places emphasis on the land, while Psalm 106 (its companion) stresses the people’s failures—two sides of the same story. Archaeological Insights - Patriarch Period: Excavations at Hebron and Beersheba show Middle Bronze nomadic encampments matching the migratory lifestyle in Genesis. - Joseph in Egypt: Ruins at Avaris (Tell el-Dab’a) reveal a Semitic settlement with a modest tomb that once held a statue of a Semitic official in a multicolored coat—an intriguing echo of Joseph’s rise. - Egyptian Plagues: The Ipuwer Papyrus (Papyrus Leiden I 344) describes chaos—Nile turned to blood, crops ruined, servants fleeing—though debated, it mirrors several plague motifs. - Exodus Era: The Merneptah Stele (c. 1207 BC) names “Israel” already in Canaan, confirming the nation’s presence in the land not long after the period described. Miracles in Pharaoh’s Court The psalm abbreviates the plague list, skipping gnats and boils, perhaps for poetic flow. Each wonder targeted an Egyptian deity: - Nile to blood vs. Hapi, the river god (Exodus 7:20) - Frogs vs. Heqet, the frog-headed goddess (Exodus 8:2) - Darkness vs. Ra, sun god (Exodus 10:21-23) Psalm 105 frames the plagues not as random disasters but as direct challenges to “their gods” (Exodus 12:12). Patriarchs as Pilgrims Verses 12-15 depict a small clan “wandering from nation to nation.” Genesis records at least eight separate relocations for Abraham alone. God’s protective word to kings forms bookends in Genesis 12:17-20 and 20:3-7, safeguarding the messianic line. Joseph in Egypt: Historical Echoes Skeptics once doubted a Semite could rise so high in Egyptian ranks, yet Middle Kingdom records show Asiatics in administrative posts. The title “ruler of all his possessions” (v. 21) parallels Egyptian vizier duties inscribed at Beni Hasan and Saqqara. Plagues: Natural and Supernatural Links Scholars note that a high-flood Nile can stir red algae, frogs flee, insects multiply, livestock die, and storms rage. Psalm 105 doesn’t deny secondary causes; it simply credits God as the conductor, turning natural events into signs “against them” (v. 27). Wilderness Provision: Water, Quail, Cloud - Cloud and fire (Exodus 13:21-22): Protecting, guiding, lighting - Quail (Exodus 16:13): Migratory birds blown low by wind—natural yet timed by command - Rock water (Exodus 17:6; Numbers 20:11): Geologists confirm flint strata that fracture and release water when struck. God used the terrain but the timing was miraculous. Fulfilled Promise in Canaan Verse 44 points to the conquest under Joshua. Joshua 21:45 echoes, “Not one of the good promises which the LORD had made… failed.” The psalm links the gift of the land with the goal that Israel “might keep His statutes.” Cross-References and Echoes in Scripture - Psalm 78: another historical psalm, yet it underscores Israel’s disbelief. - Isaiah 63:11-14: recalls Moses shepherding through the sea. - Acts 7:2-50 and Hebrews 11:8-22: New Testament sermons retelling the same history. - 1 Chronicles 16:8-22: David’s earlier version highlights praise in the presence of the ark. New Testament Resonance Jesus is the ultimate keeper of the covenant (Luke 1:72-73). The miracles surrounding His ministry echo Exodus power—water to wine, feeding multitudes, calming storms—showing the same God at work. The call to “proclaim His deeds among the nations” (Psalm 105:1) foreshadows the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). Practical Takeaways for Today - Gratitude is not optional; remembering fuels worship. - History is more than facts; it’s evidence of God’s character. - The same God who guided nomads and shook an empire still directs and defends His people. - Blessing comes with purpose: “that they might keep His statutes” (v. 45). Obedience is the natural response to grace. Psalm 105 invites every reader to step into Israel’s story, see the hand of God, and echo the closing word: “Hallelujah!” Connections to Additional Scriptures Genesis 12:1-3 God's initial covenant with Abraham, promising to make him a great nation. Exodus 12:31-42 The account of Israel's deliverance from Egypt, highlighting God's power and faithfulness. Hebrews 11:8-12 The faith of Abraham and Sarah, trusting in God's promises despite challenges. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 A call to rejoice, pray, and give thanks in all circumstances, echoing the themes of Psalm 105. Teaching Points Call to Worship and Remembrance The psalm begins with a call to give thanks, sing praises, and proclaim God's deeds (Psalm 105:1-5). It emphasizes the importance of remembering God's works and seeking His presence continually. God's Covenant with Abraham Verses 8-11 highlight God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, underscoring His faithfulness to His promises. Protection and Provision The psalm recounts how God protected His people, even when they were few in number, and provided for them during their sojourn (Psalm 105:12-15). Deliverance from Egypt Verses 23-38 detail the miraculous deliverance of Israel from Egypt, showcasing God's power over nations and His ability to save His people. Guidance in the Wilderness The psalm concludes with God's guidance and provision in the wilderness, leading His people to the Promised Land (Psalm 105:39-45).

Remember His Wondrous Works Psalm 105:5 encourages us to "Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced." This is a call to keep God's mighty acts at the forefront of our minds. By recalling His past faithfulness, we can face today's challenges with confidence. Just as we remember birthdays and anniversaries, let us also celebrate God's miracles in our lives, using them as fuel for our faith. 2. Seek the Lord Continually In Psalm 105:4, we are urged to "Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always." This is a reminder that our relationship with God is not a one-time event but a continuous journey. By seeking Him daily through prayer and Scripture, we align our lives with His will and draw strength from His presence. Make it a habit to start your day with a moment of seeking, and watch how it transforms your perspective. 3. Proclaim His Deeds Among the Nations Verse 1 of Psalm 105 calls us to "Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations." Sharing God's goodness is not just for our benefit but for the world to see His glory. Whether through words or actions, let your life be a testament to His love and power. Consider sharing a testimony or a simple act of kindness as a way to spread His light. 4. Rejoice in His Holy Name Psalm 105:3 invites us to "Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice." Joy is a natural response to knowing God. When we focus on His holiness and goodness, our hearts can't help but overflow with joy. Let this joy be evident in your interactions, and let it be a source of strength and encouragement to those around you. 5. Trust in His Covenant The psalm reminds us of God's covenant with Abraham in verses 8-10, emphasizing His faithfulness across generations. "He remembers His covenant forever, the word He commanded for a thousand generations." Trusting in God's promises provides a solid foundation for our lives. Just as He was faithful to Abraham, He will be faithful to us. Lean on His promises, knowing they are as unchanging as He is. 6. Witness His Protection Psalm 105:14-15 highlights God's protection over His people: "He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf: 'Do not touch My anointed ones; do no harm to My prophets.'" God's protection is a powerful assurance. Even when circumstances seem daunting, remember that He is your shield. Trust in His protection and walk boldly in His purpose for your life. 7. Celebrate His Provision In verses 40-41, we see God's provision for the Israelites: "They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert." God's provision is abundant and timely. Celebrate His provision in your life, whether it's daily bread or unexpected blessings. Gratitude opens our eyes to see His hand in every situation. 8. Acknowledge His Sovereignty Psalm 105:7 declares, "He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth." Recognizing God's sovereignty brings peace and assurance. He is in control, and His plans are perfect. When life feels uncertain, rest in the knowledge that He holds the world—and your life—in His hands. Trust His timing and His ways, knowing they are higher than ours. 9. Embrace His Guidance The psalm recounts how God led His people with a cloud by day and fire by night (verse 39). This symbolizes His constant guidance. "He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night." Embrace His guidance in your life by seeking His direction in every decision. He promises to lead you on the right path, illuminating your way with His wisdom. 10. Praise Him for His Faithfulness Finally, Psalm 105 concludes with a call to praise: "Praise the LORD!" (verse 45). God's faithfulness is worthy of our praise. As you reflect on His goodness, let your heart overflow with gratitude and worship. Praise is not just a response to what He has done but an acknowledgment of who He is. Let your life be a continuous song of praise, echoing His faithfulness to the world. Topics 1.
