Role in This Section

Psalm 105:5: The Torah wording “Remember his marvellous works that he hath done” advances the instruction or prayer titled “Remember covenant acts from Abraham to exodus: Call to praise and remember.”

Read It With

  • Psalms 105:1–6
  • Psalms 105:1–45

Read Psalms 105:5 with 105:1–6 and 105:1–45. Read alone, “Remember his marvellous works that he hath done” could lose the communal voice, the parallel line or movement it develops, and the psalm's outcome. The complete movement establishes: Within Psalms 105:1–6, the communal voice carries the movement “Call to praise and remember” as part of “Remember covenant acts from Abraham to exodus.” Its historical-hymn form and poetic parallelism hold the petitions, images, memories, or praise together before any single line is applied.

Why It Needs Context

The line “Remember his marvellous works that he hath done” is a premise, image, address, response, or transition inside Psalms 105:1–6; its parallel neighbors and the movement titled “Remember covenant acts from Abraham to exodus: Call to praise and remember” must supply the claim before teaching or application.
