PSALM 105 THE ARGUMENT The penman of this Psalm was David, as is manifest from 1 Chronicles 16:8, &c. It is a thanksgiving to God for his mercies to his people of Israel. An exhortation to praise God, and to remember his works and wonders, Psalms 105:1-6. The story of God's promises to and providences over Abraham, Psalms 105:7-15, Joseph, Psalms 105:16-22, and Jacob in Egypt, Psalms 105:23-25; over Moses delivering the Israelites, Psalms 105:26-36; and over them whom he fed in the wilderness, and planted in Canaan, Psalms 105:37-45. Call upon his name or, proclaim his name, i.e. the fame and glory of his works, as it follows. Among his people; each of you amongst his and your people, or even among the heathens, as you have opportunity.
