    Tell of His Wonders

    (1 Chronicles 16:7–22)

    ⓘ This hymn praises the Lord’s faithfulness to Abraham...
    • This hymn praises the Lord’s faithfulness to Abraham and his descendants in all their journeys—from Ur to Canaan (105:12), to Egypt (105:17, 23), through the wilderness (105:37, 41), and back to Canaan (105:44). All of this fulfilled the Lord’s promise to Abraham (105:9, 42), which was the basis for Israel’s very existence. Joseph, whose suffering was changed into glory, is a paradigm of encouragement for Israel (105:16–25).
    • Psalm 105:1–15 (along with 96; 106:1, 47–48) is included in David’s song of praise recorded in 1 Chr 16.
    ⓘ The poet begins with the exhortation Give thanks...

    The poet begins with the exhortation Give thanks (see also 106:1; 107:1; 118:1; 136:1). The other psalms continue with the refrain “for he is good!” The rest of Ps 105 tells of God’s goodness.
    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,
    ⓘ The story of Israel is based on the...

    The story of Israel is based on the Lord’s commitment to Abraham. Even when a question arises about the future of God’s covenant with David (Ps 89), God’s covenant with Abraham stands, as does the spiritual bond between God and Israel, Abraham’s descendants.
    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 Canaanas the portion of your inheritance.”
    ⓘ The Lord protected Israel’s patriarchs.

    The Lord protected Israel’s patriarchs.
    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!”
    ⓘ These verses tell the story of Joseph (see...

    These verses tell the story of Joseph (see Gen 37–41).
    16He called down famine on the landand cut off all their supplies† of food.17He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave.18They bruised his feet with shacklesand placed his neck in irons,19until his prediction came trueand 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 instruct† his princes as he pleasedand teach his elders wisdom.
    ⓘ These verses tell the story of Israel’s affliction...

    These verses tell the story of Israel’s affliction in Egypt (see Exod 1:1–14).
    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.
    ⓘ The psalmist recounts the story of Moses and...

    The psalmist recounts the story of Moses and the plagues in Egypt (Exod 7:20–12:30).
    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.†
    29He turned their waters to bloodand 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 treesand shattered the trees of their country.34He spoke, and the locusts came—young locusts without number.35They devoured every plant in their landand consumed the produce of their soil.36Then He struck all the firstborn in their land,the firstfruits of all their vigor.
    ⓘ The Exodus and the conquest of Canaan fulfilled...

    The Exodus and the conquest of Canaan fulfilled God’s promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (105:9–10). Unlike Ps 78, the poet recites the Lord’s goodness without commenting on Israel’s history of rebellion (cp. Ps 106).
    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 coveringand a fire to light up the night.40They asked, and He brought quailand satisfied them with the bread of heaven.41He opened a rock, and water gushed out;it flowed like a river in the desert.
    ⓘ The story of redemption is also the story...

    The story of redemption is also the story of the Lord’s faithfulness.
    42For He remembered His holy promiseto 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 statutesand obey His laws.
    Hallelujah!†
