The Book of Psalms

Return to Index Henry's Commentary
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his 1oath unto Isaac;
1 Gen 26:3
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, 1Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
1 Gen 12:7, Deut 34:4
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and 1strangers in it.
1 Gen 23:4, 1st Chron 29:15, Psa 39:12, Psa 119:19, Heb 11:9, 1st Peter 2:11
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he 1reproved kings for their sakes;
1 Gen 12:17, Gen 20:18, 1st Chron 16:21
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16 Moreover he called for a 1famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
1 Gen 41:30, Gen 47:13
17 He sent a man before them, even 1Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
1 Gen 39:1
18 Whose feet they hurt with 1fetters: he was laid in iron:
1 Gen 39:20, 1st Pet 2:19
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20 The king 1sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
1 Genesis 41:14
21 He 1made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
1 Gen 41:41, Dan 6:3, Acts 7:10
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of 1Ham.
1 Gen 10:6, 1st Chron 1:8, Psa 78:51, Psa 106:22
24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, and there came adivers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he 1remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
1 Gen 8:1, Gen 19:29, Exod 2:24, 1st Sam 1:19, Psa 136:23
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
