Notes on this text (2)

1 Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; Declare his works among the heathen. 2 Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: Tell forth all his wonderful works. 3 Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice. 4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; Seek his face continually. 5 Remember his wonderful works that he has done; His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 6 [Ye] seed of Abraham, his servants, [Ye] children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 7 He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth. 8 He has remembered his covenant forever, The word which he commanded for a thousand generations: 9 Which he established as a covenant to Abraham, And [he remembered] his oath to Isaac. 10 And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant; 11 Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, The line of your inheritance: 12 When they were few in number, Very few, and sojourners in it. 13 And they went from nation to nation, And from [one] kingdom to another people. 14 He suffered no man to wrong them; And he rebuked kings for their sakes: 15 [Saying], Touch not my anointed ones; And do my prophets no harm. 16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole support of bread. 17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave. 18 They hurt his feet with fetters; His soul passed into iron, 19 Until the time that his cause came on; The word of the Lord tried him as fire. 20 The king sent and loosed him; [Even] the prince of the people, and let him go free. 21 He made him Lord over his house, And ruler of all his substance; 22 To chastise his rulers at his pleasure, And to teach his elders wisdom. 23 Israel also came into Egypt, And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 24 And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies. 25 And he turned their heart to hate his people, To deal craftily with his servants. 26 He sent forth Moses his servant, [And] Aaron whom he had chosen. 27 He established among them his signs, And [his] wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; Yet they rebelled against his words. 29 He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish. 30 Their land produced frogs abundantly, In the chambers of their kings. 31 He spoke, and the dog fly came, And lice in all their coasts. 32 He turned their rain into hail, [And sent] flaming fire in their land. 33 And he smote their vines and their fig trees; And broke every tree of their coast. 34 He spoke, and the locust came, And caterpillars innumerable, 35 And devoured all the grass in their land, And devoured the fruit of their ground. 36 He smote also every firstborn of their land, The firstfruits of all their labor. 37 And he brought them out with silver and gold; And there was not a feeble one among their tribes. 38 Egypt rejoiced at their departing; For the fear of them fell upon them. 39 He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, And fire to give them light by night. 40 They asked, and the quail came, And he satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41 He clove the rock, and the waters flowed; Rivers ran in dry places. 42 For he remembered his holy word, Which [he promised] to Abraham his servant. 43 And he brought out his people with exultation, And his chosen with joy; 44 And gave them the lands of the heathen; And they inherited the labors of the people; 45 That they might keep his ordinances, And diligently seek his law.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 105.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm CIV)

    "Bless the Lord, O my soul." Let the soul of us all, made one in Christ, say this. "O Lord my God, Thou art magnified exceedingly!" (ver. 1). Where art Thou magnified? "Confession and beauty Thou hast put on." Confess ye, that ye may be beautified, that He may put you on. "Clothed with light as a garment" (ver. 2).

  2. Quotes verse 105:15 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVII, Chapters 9–11)

    … commit iniquity I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men; but my mercy will I not take away from him," meaning by stripes the strokes of correction. Hence that saying, "Touch ye not my christs." For what else is that than, Do not harm them?

  3. Quotes verse 105:15 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XXI)

    Having therefore become partakers of Christ, ye are properly called Christs, and of you God said, Touch not My Christs, or anointed.

  4. Quotes verse 105:37 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapters XXV–XXVI)

    This is the case where, as we have observed, it often stands instead of with; as for instance, "I will go into thy house in burnt offerings," instead of with burnt offerings and "he brought them forth also by silver and gold," that is to say with silver and gold and "thou goest not forth in our armies" instead of …

  5. Quotes verse 105:8 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XX, Chapters 6–7)

    And for the same reason we cannot better interpret the words of the psalm, "He hath been mindful of His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations," than by understanding it to mean "to all generations." "And he cast him into the abyss,"--i.e., cast the devil into the abyss.
