Psalm 105 Summary
God's Covenant Fulfilled Through Israel's History
The psalmist exhorts Israel to give thanks and make known God's mighty deeds, recounting how He remembered His covenant with Abraham and Isaac forever and made it an everlasting covenant with Israel. He describes how God sent Joseph before the people and afterward delivered Israel from Egypt through ten plagues—darkness, blood, frogs, hail, locusts, and the death of the firstborn. God brought them out with silver and gold, opened the rock for water, and satisfied them with bread from heaven and quails, finally giving them the lands of the heathen.

Psalms 105:1-2
“O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.”
Psalms 105:8-11
“He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:”
Psalms 105:37-45
“He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.”
