What Does Psalms 105:5 Mean?
Memory is the foundation of faith in this psalm. God's marvellous works (niphla'ot) and wonders are not mythical but historical—the Exodus, the wilderness provision, the conquest. These acts demonstrate both power and justice, showing that God acts according to his word and character.
The 'judgments of his mouth' refers to God's decrees and the consequences he brings to pass. When God speaks judgment, it stands. This combination of mighty works and just judgments reveals a God who is both powerful and righteous, worthy of trust.
