For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
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
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. Here is the secret reason for all this grace. The covenant and he for whose sake it was made are ever on the heart of the Most High. He remembered his people because he remembered his covenant.
God turned the hearts of the Egyptians from protection to hatred. They dealt subtly with Israel, making their burdens heavy and their lives bitter. Malice is crafty to destroy; Satan has the serpent's subtlety with his venom. Every creature becomes to us what God makes it to be, friend or enemy.
