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.
*}ote on The 105th, 106th and 107th Psalms form one
"' 'long ode in three parts. Each part presents a
different aspect of the might and mercy of God.
The 105th Psalm proclaims with paeans of praise
and thanks that God alone is the Creator of all, and
that the whole universe is governed by the Divine
ordering. "He is the Lord our God: His judg-
ments are in all the earth. "
The Psalmist calls on Israel to proclaim this God-
given Message to the world.
The greatness of the Message is indicated by the
vividly told story of the Messenger Race, mercifully
and marvellously preserved through all sorts of dan-
gers and vicissitudes to bear and to declare to
countless generations the sacred, everlasting Message
confided to it, the Message of the Covenant between
God and man, between the Divine spirit and every
human being, however humble.
This covenant is the very essence of Judaism.
Belief in the one and only God carries with it the belief
that every human soul is directly responsible to the
Creator, with no human or superhuman intermediary
between the spirit of God and the soul of man. Over
and over again this is insisted on in Deuteronomy.
Moses presents no elaborate dogma to justify virtue or
to condemn vice, but he insists on practical effort
in daily life to obey the eternal moral laws that

"And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God
"require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to
"walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve
"the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all
"thy soul " (Deut. x. 12).
"This commandment which I command thee this
"day is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
"It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who
"shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that
"we may hear it and do it? Neither is it beyond the
"sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the
"sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear
"it and do it? But this word is very nigh thee, in
"thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do
"it" (Deut. xxx. 11--14).
Moses calls on all Israel, and through Israel on
all mankind, to love God with all the power of love,
of thought, and of action (Deut. vi. 5).
This is the ideal of life to which every one of the
Messenger Race must be ever striving to attain, in
their every thought and word and deed.
The 105th Psalm is not described as a Psalm of
David, but (like the 96th) a portion of it forms a part
of David's song of Praise when the ark was brought to
Jerusalem. * (See notes on Psalms lxxxi. and xcvi. )

PSALM CVI.
Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the
Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endureth
for ever. 2 Who can utter the mighty acts of
the Lord? who can show forth all His praise?
3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that
doeth righteousness at all times. 4 Remember me, O
Lord, with the favour that Thou bearest unto Thy
people: O visit me with Thy salvation; 5 That I
may see the good of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice
in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with
Thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have
committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7 Our
fathers understood not Thy wonders in Egypt; they
remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but
provoked Him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake,
that He might make His mighty power to be known.
9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried
up: so He led them through the depths, as through
the wilderness. 10 And He saved them from the
hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them
from the hand of the enemy. 11 And the waters
covered their enemies: there was not one of them
left. 12 Then believed they His words; they sang
His praise. 13 They soon forgat His works; they
waited not for His counsel: 14 But lusted exceed-
ingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the

sent leanness into their soul.
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and
Aaron the saint of the Lord. 17 The earth opened
and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company
of Abiram. 18 And a fire was kindled in their
company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the
molten image. 20 Thus they changed their glory
into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 21
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great
things in Egypt; 22 Wondrous works in the land
of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. 23
Therefore He said that he would destroy them, had
not Moses His chosen stood before him in the
breach, to turn away His wrath, lest He should
destroy them.
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they
believed not His word: 25 But murmured in their
tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore He lifted up his hand against them, to
overthrow them in the wilderness: 27 To overthrow
their seed also among the nations, and to scatter
them in the lands.
28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 29 Thus they
provoked Him to anger with their inventions: and
the plague brake in upon them. 30 Then stood up
Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague
was stayed. 31 And that was counted unto him for
righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

. CVI. 32 They provoked anger also at the waters of
Meribah so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake
unadvisedly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning
whom the Lord commanded them: 35 But were
mingled among the heathen, and learned their
works. 36 And they served their idols: which were
a snare unto them.
37 Yea, they sacrificed their
sons and their daughters unto idols. 38 And shed
innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of
their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols
of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled
against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His
own inheritance. 41 And He gave them into the
hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled
over them. 42 Their enemies also oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their
hand.
43 Many times did He deliver them; but they
provoked Him with their counsel, and were brought
low for their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless He regarded
their affliction when He heard their cry: 45 And
He remembered for them His covenant, and repented
according to the multitude of His mercies. 46 He
made them also to be pitied of all those that carried
them captives.

the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to ever-
lasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye
the Lord.
mote on The 106th Psalm opens with a song of praise
IPs. CVI. and thanks, and recalls the high privilege God
conferred on the Israelites in making them His
chosen messengers. Continuing the theme of the
105th Psalm--the history of the Messenger Race--
the Psalmist laments the way in which the Israelites
were many times faithless to their great mission,
and records God's merciful forgiveness towards
them whenever they were truly sorry for their
evil-doings.
PSALM CVII.
O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good:
for His mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He
hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3 And
gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and
from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary
way; they found no city to dwell in. 5 Hungry
and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 6 Then they
cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He
delivered them out of their distresses. 7 And He
led them forth by the right way, that they might go
to a city of habitation.

The impressive lesson so tersely taught in verse 15 mote on
comes home to us all, " He gave them their request, P8,
but sent leanness into their souls. " If we covet that
which we have not, instead of thankfully making the

PSALM CVI.
Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the
Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endureth
for ever. 2 Who can utter the mighty acts of
the Lord? who can show forth all His praise?
3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that
doeth righteousness at all times. 4 Remember me, O
Lord, with the favour that Thou bearest unto Thy
people: O visit me with Thy salvation; 5 That I
may see the good of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice
in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with
Thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have
committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7 Our
fathers understood not Thy wonders in Egypt; they
remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but
provoked Him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake,
that He might make His mighty power to be known.
9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried
up: so He led them through the depths, as through
the wilderness. 10 And He saved them from the
hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them
from the hand of the enemy. 11 And the waters
covered their enemies: there was not one of them
left. 12 Then believed they His words; they sang
His praise. 13 They soon forgat His works; they
waited not for His counsel: 14 But lusted exceed-
ingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the

sent leanness into their soul.
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and
Aaron the saint of the Lord. 17 The earth opened
and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company
of Abiram. 18 And a fire was kindled in their
company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the
molten image. 20 Thus they changed their glory
into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 21
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great
things in Egypt; 22 Wondrous works in the land
of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. 23
Therefore He said that he would destroy them, had
not Moses His chosen stood before him in the
breach, to turn away His wrath, lest He should
destroy them.
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they
believed not His word: 25 But murmured in their
tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore He lifted up his hand against them, to
overthrow them in the wilderness: 27 To overthrow
their seed also among the nations, and to scatter
them in the lands.
28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 29 Thus they
provoked Him to anger with their inventions: and
the plague brake in upon them. 30 Then stood up
Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague
was stayed. 31 And that was counted unto him for
righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

. CVI. 32 They provoked anger also at the waters of
Meribah so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake
unadvisedly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning
whom the Lord commanded them: 35 But were
mingled among the heathen, and learned their
works. 36 And they served their idols: which were
a snare unto them.
37 Yea, they sacrificed their
sons and their daughters unto idols. 38 And shed
innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of
their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols
of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled
against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His
own inheritance. 41 And He gave them into the
hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled
over them. 42 Their enemies also oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their
hand.
43 Many times did He deliver them; but they
provoked Him with their counsel, and were brought
low for their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless He regarded
their affliction when He heard their cry: 45 And
He remembered for them His covenant, and repented
according to the multitude of His mercies. 46 He
made them also to be pitied of all those that carried
them captives.
47 Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from
among the heathen, to give thanks unto Thy holy

p8. CVI. name, and to triumph in Thy praise. 48 Blessed be
the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to ever-
lasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye
the Lord.
mote on The 106th Psalm opens with a song of praise
IPs. CVI. and thanks, and recalls the high privilege God
conferred on the Israelites in making them His
chosen messengers. Continuing the theme of the
105th Psalm--the history of the Messenger Race--
the Psalmist laments the way in which the Israelites
were many times faithless to their great mission,
and records God's merciful forgiveness towards
them whenever they were truly sorry for their
evil-doings.
PSALM CVII.
O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good:
for His mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He
hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3 And
gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and
from the west, from the north, and from the south.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary
way; they found no city to dwell in. 5 Hungry
and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 6 Then they
cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He
delivered them out of their distresses. 7 And He
led them forth by the right way, that they might go
to a city of habitation.

The impressive lesson so tersely taught in verse 15 mote on
comes home to us all, " He gave them their request, P8,
but sent leanness into their souls. " If we covet that
which we have not, instead of thankfully making the
best of what we have--the attainment of our desires
will never bring into our souls the full and serene
happiness that is the lot of those who in their times
of trial have never lost faith in the perfect justice
and mercy of God.

goodness, and for His wonderful works to the
children of men!
9 For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth
the hungry soul with goodness. 10 Such as sit
in darkness and in the shadow of death, being
bound in affliction and iron; n Because they
rebelled against the words of God, and contemned
the counsel of the most High: 12 Therefore
He brought down their heart with labour; they
fell down, and there was none to help. 13 Then
they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and
He saved them out of their distresses. 14 He

15 Oh that men would praise the Lord for His
goodness, and for His wonderful works to the

16 For He hath broken the gates of brass, and cut
the bars of iron in sunder. 17 Fools because of their
transgression, and because of their iniquities, are
afflicted. 18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of
meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble,
and He saveth them out of their distresses. 20 He

from their destructions.

23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do
business in great waters; 24 These see the works
of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. 25 For
He commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which
lifteth up the waves thereof. 26 They mount up to

soul is melted because of trouble. 27 They reel to
