We will continue in our monthly series from the Psalms.
This Psalm is unique in style as it repeats the same phrase in the second line of each couplet.
The chorus draws from ; , and perhaps might have been the response of the people to the first line spoken by the priest (similar to high churches).
It divides easily into three sections – God of nature, God of salvation, and God of all.
I) God of nature – 1-9
Give thanks is the opening line of the first three, it means to recognize or acknowledge the work of God
God is good – – as Moses tells us concerning God’s work each day in creation, and the summary of it all
God of gods, Lord of lords – – this phrase is found more often in later Hebrew literature, and emphasizes God’s universal sovereignty
Days of creation – – means more then the facts of creation, or even the power of God in making something from nothing, and life from death – ; , – it presupposes a wisdom above all others
II) God of salvation – 10-22
God’s deliverance of His people from Egyptian bondage – – which reflects how He delivers us from the bondage of sin –
God’s protection and guidance to bring His people into the Promised Land – – which reflects how He brings us to His eternal home –
Although these events are drawn from the early period of Israel’s history, it does not require an early date of composition
III) God of all - 23-26
This section summarizes the previous points – God remembered His people in difficult times
God rescued them from their enemies (and His)
God provided their needs (better than they could themselves)
So give thanks to the God of all
Concl: It is a simple Psalm, but designed to remind us of how dependent we are upon God, and how faithful He is to provide what we need.
