Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!
God chose one people freely from all nations and bound Himself to them by covenant. He did not merely speak His promises to Abraham and his seed; He proved them true across centuries with unnumbered mercies, so that those delivered from Egypt would keep faith with Him and serve Him faithfully.

Commenting on Psalm 105:1-45
O give thanks unto the Lord. Jehovah is the author of all our benefits, therefore let him have all our gratitude. Call upon his name, or call him by his name; proclaim his titles and fill the world with his renown. Make known his deeds among the people, or among the nations. Let the heathen hear of our God, that they may forsake their idols and learn to worship him.
We must give thanks to Him as our bountiful benefactor, call upon His name for further mercies, and make known His deeds so others join us in praising Him. God's wondrous works ought to be the subject of our familiar discourse with our families and friends, not merely for entertainment, but for exciting devotion and encouraging faith and hope in God.
