The Story of a Faithful God

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 105 has no title and names no author. Parts of it also appear in 1 Chronicles 16. It begins with a call to give thanks to Yahweh, sing praises to him, and remember his marvelous works. The psalm then retells Israel's story, showing God's faithfulness at every step.

God remembered his covenant forever: the promise he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac, and the statute to Jacob, to give them the land of Canaan. While they were few and wandering, God allowed no one to do them wrong. He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold for a slave. Yahweh's word proved him true, and the king made him ruler of all his possessions.

Israel came into Egypt and grew strong. God sent Moses and Aaron, who did wonders in the land of Ham. God sent darkness, frogs, flies, hail, and locusts. Then he brought his people out with silver and gold. He spread a cloud for a covering and fire to give light at night. He gave quail and the bread of the sky, and opened the rock so waters gushed out. He did all this because he remembered his holy word to Abraham.

Psalms 105 · Grade 5

Covenant Faithfulness Through History

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 105 has no title and names no author; 1 Chronicles 16 places some of its verses in a song of thanks when the ark came to Jerusalem. The psalm opens with ten calls to action, among them give thanks, call on his name, sing, tell, glory, seek, and remember. Worship here means telling God's story aloud so that each new generation will know it.

The center of the psalm is the covenant. He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. God promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob the land of Canaan when they were but a few men in number. He protected the wandering families and warned kings: Don't touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm! Even hard events served his plan. He called for a famine and sent Joseph ahead, who was sold for a slave until Yahweh's word proved him true.

The psalm then retells the exodus without mentioning Israel's failures, which Psalm 106 will confess. God sent Moses and Aaron, showed signs in the land of Ham, and brought his people out with joy. He gave a cloud for a covering, fire for light, quail, bread from the sky, and water from the rock. Verse 42 gives the reason for it all: For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant. The goal was that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws.
