What Does Psalms 105:45 Mean?
The possession of the land was not unconditional gift but came with purpose: to observe God's statutes and keep his laws. The inheritance and the law are inseparable. Israel's role in the land was to be a covenant people, living according to divine instruction.
The call to praise concludes the psalm. After rehearsing God's mighty acts from Abraham through the conquest, the only fitting response is thanksgiving and praise. All history, all provision, all promise pointed to this: a people in covenant with their God, living under his law, in the land he promised.
