25 whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
25 He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
25 He turned the Egyptians against his people; they abused and cheated God's servants.
25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants.
25 Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites, and they plotted against the Lord 's servants.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 105:25
Commentary on Psalm 105:24-45
(Read Psalm 105:24-45)
As the believer commonly thrives best in his soul when under the cross; so the church also flourishes most in true holiness, and increases in number, while under persecution. Yet instruments shall be raised up for their deliverance, and plagues may be expected by persecutors. And see the special care God took of his people in the wilderness. All the benefits bestowed on Israel as a nation, were shadows of spiritual blessings with which we are blessed in Christ Jesus. Having redeemed us with his blood, restored our souls to holiness, and set us at liberty from Satan's bondage, he guides and guards us all the way. He satisfies our souls with the bread of heaven, and the water of life from the Rock of salvation, and will bring us safely to heaven. He redeems his servants from all iniquity, and purifies them unto himself, to be a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
