Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 105:14-15

Psalms INVIOLABLE MESSIAHS AND PROPHETS Psa_105:14 - Psa_105:15 . The original reference of these words is to the fathers of the Jewish people-the three wandering shepherds, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Psalmist transfers to them the great titles which properly belong to a later period of Jewish history. None of the three were ever in the literal sense of the word ‘anointed,’ but all the three had what anointing symbolised. None of them were in the literal or narrow sense of the word... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 105:19

Psalms GOD’S PROMISES TESTS Psa_105:19 . I do not think I shall be mistaken if I affirm that these words do not convey any very clear idea to most readers. They were spoken with reference to Joseph, during the period of his imprisonment. For the understanding of them I think we must observe that there is a contrast drawn between two ‘words,’ ‘his’ i.e . Joseph’s and God’s. If we lay firm hold of that clue, I think it will lead us into clear daylight, and it will be obvious that Joseph’s... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 105:1-15

the Lord’s Covenant with Israel Psalms 105:1-15 This psalm and the next are a pair, probably composed during the Exile in Babylon. They are evidently derived in part from the old Tabernacle service, in which is found the beginning of this psalm and the end of the next, 1 Chronicles 16:1-43 . Here we have the story of Jehovah’s faithfulness to his Covenant and of Israel’s ingratitude. It is right to make known God’s doings. Nothing touches men more quickly, or excites faith and hope more... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 105:16-30

Wonders in Egypt Psalms 105:16-30 The psalmist retells the story of Joseph, as a link in the chain of providences which secured the fulfillment of the Covenant. It may be that it was also introduced to comfort Israel amid the afflictions of the Captivity. Another reading of the second clause of Psalms 105:18 is, “The iron entered his soul.” This is what pain does for us all; it puts iron into our blood. In Psalms 105:19 we learn that God’s promise, while unfulfilled and apparently... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 105:1-45

This and the following psalm are companions. They reveal the two sides of the relation between God and His people during a long period. This one sings the song of His faithfulness and power; while the next tells the sad story of repeated failure and rebellion on the part of His people. In singing His praise the psalmist opens with an appeal which recognises the responsibility of those who have been recipients of blessing. The words, “Make known His doings among the peoples” reveal this. The... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 105:17

GOD’S PREVISIONS‘But He had sent a man before them.’Psalms 105:17. (Prayer Book Version). I. Israel went down into Egypt to buy food, and found one of themselves at the head of the government; and from that Divine provision flowed in natural order the whole after-Bible story.—A local famine ministered to the scheme of the world’s salvation; out of partial evil came universal good. The Gospel feast was remotely spread through the jealousy of Jacob’s sons, and in the pressure of the great... read more
