| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| Rather, "He, Jehovah, is our God." His title, "JEHOVAH," implies that He, the unchangeable, self-existing Being, makes things to be, that is, fulfils His promises, and therefore will not forsake His people. Though specially of His people, He is God over all. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
He is the Lord our God - His name is Yahweh - the true God; and this God is ours. See the notes at Psa 95:7.
His judgments are in all the earth - More properly "in all the land;" that is, in every part of the land he is honored as our God. His institutions are established here; his laws are obeyed here; his worship is celebrated here. No other God is worshipped here; everywhere he is acknowledged as the nation's God. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The poet now begins himself to do that to which he encourages Israel. Jahve is Israel's God: His righteous rule extends over the whole earth, whilst His people experience His inviolable faithfulness to His covenant. יהוה in Psa 105:7 is in apposition to הוּא, for the God who bears this name is as a matter of course the object of the song of praise. זכר is the perfect of practically pledges certainty (cf. Psa 111:5, where we find instead the future of confident prospect). The chronicler has זכרוּ instead (lxx again something different: μνημονεύωμεν); but the object is not the demanding but the promissory side of the covenant, so that consequently it is not Israel's remembering but God's that is spoken of. He remembers His covenant in all time to come, so that exile and want of independence as a state are only temporary, exceptional conditions. צוּה has its radical signification here, to establish, institute, Psa 111:9. לאלף דּור (in which expression דור is a specifying accusative) is taken from Deu 7:9. And since דּבר is the covenant word of promise, it can be continued אשׁר כּרת; and Hag 2:5 (vid., Khler thereon) shows that אשׁר is not joined to בריתו over Psa 105:8. וּשׁבוּעתו, however, is a second object to זכר (since דּבר with what belongs to it as an apposition is out of the question). It is the oath on Moriah (Gen 22:16) that is meant, which applied to Abraham and his seed. לישׂחק (chronicler ליצחק), as in Amo 7:9; Jer 33:26. To זכר is appended ויּעמרדה; the suffix, intended as neuter, points to what follows, viz., this, that Canaan shall be Israel's hereditary land. From Abraham and Isaac we come to Jacob-Israel, who as being the father of the twelve is the twelve-tribe nation itself that is coming into existence; hence the plural can alternate with the singular in Psa 105:11. את־ארץ כּנען (chronicler, without the את) is an accusative of the object, and חבל נחלתכם accusative of the predicate: the land of Canaan as the province of your own hereditary possession measured out with a measuring line (Psa 78:55). |

| Judgments - God executes his judgments upon all nations and people. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
He is the Lord our God - He is Jehovah, the self-existent and eternal God. He is our God, he is our portion; has taken us for his people, and makes us happy in his love.
The following abstract of the history of the Israelites presents but few difficulties. See the notes on Psalm 78 (note). |
7 For he is our God [0430]; and we are the people [05971] of his pasture [04830], and the sheep [06629] of his hand [03027]. To day [03117] if ye will hear [08085] his voice [06963],
55 He cast out [01644] the heathen [01471] also before [06440] them, and divided [05307] them an inheritance [05159] by line [02256], and made the tribes [07626] of Israel [03478] to dwell [07931] in their tents [0168].
11 Saying [0559], Unto thee will I give [05414] the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], the lot [02256] of your inheritance [05159]:
26 Then [01571] will I cast away [03988] the seed [02233] of Jacob [03290], and David [01732] my servant [05650], so that I will not take [03947] any of his seed [02233] to be rulers [04910] over the seed [02233] of Abraham [085], Isaac [03446], and Jacob [03290]: for I will cause their captivity [07622] to return [07725] [07725], and have mercy [07355] on them.
9 And the high places [01116] of Isaac [03446] shall be desolate [08074], and the sanctuaries [04720] of Israel [03478] shall be laid waste [02717]; and I will rise [06965] against the house [01004] of Jeroboam [03379] with the sword [02719].
16 And said [0559], By myself have I sworn [07650], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], for because [03282] [0834] thou hast done [06213] this thing [01697], and hast not [03808] withheld [02820] thy son [01121], thine only [03173] son:
8 He hath remembered [02142] his covenant [01285] for ever [05769], the word [01697] which he commanded [06680] to a thousand [0505] generations [01755].
5 According to the word [01697] that I covenanted [03772] with you when ye came [03318] out of Egypt [04714], so my spirit [07307] remaineth [05975] among [08432] you: fear [03372] ye not.
9 Know [03045] therefore that the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], he is God [0430], the faithful [0539] God [0410], which keepeth [08104] covenant [01285] and mercy [02617] with them that love [0157] him and keep [08104] his commandments [04687] to a thousand [0505] generations [01755];
9 He sent [07971] redemption [06304] unto his people [05971]: he hath commanded [06680] his covenant [01285] for ever [05769]: holy [06918] and reverend [03372] is his name [08034].
5 He hath given [05414] meat [02964] unto them that fear [03373] him: he will ever [05769] be mindful [02142] of his covenant [01285].
7 He is the LORD [03068] our God [0430]: his judgments [04941] are in all the earth [0776].
