The Treasury of David
by C.H. Spurgeon

EXPOSITION OF THE PSALMS
(Psalms 105 Verse 45)

EXPOSITION

Verse 45. That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. This was the practical design of it all. The chosen nation was to be the conservator of truth, the exemplar of morality, the pattern of devotion: everything was so ordered as to place them in advantageous circumstances for fulfilling this trust. Theirs was a high calling and a glorious election. It involved great responsibilities, but it was in itself a distinguished blessing, and one for which the nation was bound to give thanks. Most justly then did the music close with the jubilant but solemn shout of HALLELUJAH.

Praise ye the Lord. If this history did trot make Israel praise God, what would?

 

HINTS FOR PASTORS AND LAYPERSONS
