Psalms 105:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 105:10

8 He ^aremembers His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,

9 ^aThe covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac,

10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 Saying, ^a“To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the allotment of your inheritance,”

12 ^aWhen they were few in number,
Indeed very few, ^band strangers in it.

13 When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people,

14 ^aHe permitted no one to do them wrong;
Yes, ^bHe rebuked kings for their sakes,

15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”

16 Moreover ^aHe called for a famine in the land;
He destroyed all the ^bprovision of bread.

17 ^aHe sent a man before them—
Joseph—who ^bwas sold as a slave.

18 ^aThey hurt his feet with fetters,
¹He was laid in irons.

19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
^aThe word of the Lord tested him.

20 ^aThe king sent and released him,
The ruler of the people let him go free.

21 ^aHe made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his possessions,

22 To¹ bind his princes at his pleasure,
And teach his elders wisdom.

23 ^aIsrael also came into Egypt,
And Jacob dwelt ^bin the land of Ham.

24 ^aHe increased His people greatly,
And made them stronger than their enemies.

25 ^aHe turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.
