Psalm 105 Author unknown. No specific instructions to the chief musician. This Psalm phrases God for His special favors toward His People. The first 11 verses can also be found in 1st. Chronicles 16:7, where David instructs Asaph on the occasion of the Ark being put into the Sanctuary in Jerusalem. We can see why many would attribute this psalm to David. The Psalmist instructs the people of their obligation to their religion and reminds them of their history from the Patriarchs to the settlement of Canaan, how all was under the direction and care of God. God promised and God delivered.
This is a very long Psalm. We can learn something very important in the observing the length of the Psalms. They are all lessons on prayer. They stress the importance of saying what we have to say at that time and closing. A study of the short Psalms will illustrate the need to not over extend ourselves on the pretence that long is always better. The lesson then is to mind our hearts and base our devotions on a concise subject not on time.
