Psalms 105:5-7 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Remember the judgments of his mouth Either, 1st, The laws delivered from his mouth: Or rather, 2d, The plagues, or punishments, which he brought upon Egypt by his mere word or command. O ye seed of Abraham his servant Born in his house, his church, and being thereby entitled to the privileges of his servants, you are also bound to do the duty of servants, to consult your master's honour, obey his commands, and do all that is in your power to advance his interest. Ye children of Jacob his chosen To whom he restrains the former more general expression, because the posterity of Jacob were the only branch of Abraham's seed included in the covenant, and entitled to the blessings here mentioned. He is the Lord Hebrew, Jehovah, our God A Being self-existent and self- sufficient, having an incontestable sovereignty over us, and unquestionable power to protect and save us. We depend upon him; our expectation is from him; and we ought to be devoted to his service. His judgments are in all the earth Either, 1st, The fame of his judgments upon the Egyptians is spread over the face of the whole earth: Or, 2d, He executes his judgments upon all nations and people.
