How preachers through history handled this text

10 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 105, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Matthew Henry 4 Alexander MacLaren 3 Spurgeon 2 John Wesley 1

“As the believer commonly thrives best in his soul when under the cross; so the church also flourishes most in true holiness, and increases in number, while under persecution. Yet instruments shall be raised up for their deliverance, and plagues may be expected by persecutors. And see the special care God took of his people in the wilderness. All the benefits bestowed on Israel as a nation, were shadows of spiritual blessings with which we are blessed in Christ Jesus. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 105:24–45 (Public Domain)
