Notes on this text (1)

1 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations. 2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders. 3 Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 4 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always. 5 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced, 6 O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones. 7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth. 8 He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations— 9 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac. 10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant: 11 “I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.” 12 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land, 13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. 14 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf: 15 “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!” 16 He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food. 17 He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave. 18 They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons, 19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right. 20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free. 21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance, 22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom. 23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham. 24 And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes, 25 whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants. 26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen. 27 They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He sent darkness, and it became dark—yet they defied His words. 29 He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die. 30 Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers. 31 He spoke, and insects swarmed—gnats throughout their country. 32 He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land. 33 He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country. 34 He spoke, and the locusts came—young locusts without number. 35 They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil. 36 Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor. 37 He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled. 38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them. 39 He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night. 40 They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41 He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert. 42 For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant. 43 He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy. 44 He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor, 45 that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!

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).

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.
