He brought forth His people with rejoicing
This phrase refers to the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt, a pivotal event in biblical history. The Exodus is a demonstration of God's power and faithfulness to His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The rejoicing signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to bring His people out of bondage and into the Promised Land. This event is celebrated annually in the Jewish festival of Passover, which commemorates the liberation from slavery. The rejoicing also reflects the joy of salvation, a theme echoed in the New Testament, where believers are delivered from the bondage of sin through Christ.

His chosen with shouts of joy
The term "His chosen" emphasizes the special relationship between God and Israel, highlighting their status as a people set apart for His purposes. This concept of being chosen is foundational in understanding Israel's identity and mission. The "shouts of joy" indicate the exuberant celebration of freedom and divine favor. This joy is not only historical but prophetic, pointing to the ultimate redemption through Jesus Christ, who is seen as the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel. The joy of the Israelites can be paralleled with the joy of believers who experience spiritual liberation through faith in Christ.

What Does Psalm 105:43 Mean
He brought forth

• The verse recalls a real, historical moment: “At the end of 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions left Egypt” (Exodus 12:41).

• God Himself acts—no surrogate, no mere circumstance. As Deuteronomy 26:8 notes, “The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.”

• This rescue sets the pattern for every later redemption, including the “new exodus” accomplished in Christ (Colossians 1:13-14). The same mighty hand still leads believers out of bondage to sin.


His people

• “I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God” (Exodus 6:7). The phrase roots identity in covenant, not ethnicity or merit.

Isaiah 63:8 echoes, “Surely they are My people, children who will not be false to Me.” The Psalmist celebrates a family relationship secured by the Lord’s faithfulness.

• Because the text is literal, the original reference is national Israel. Yet Romans 9:24-26 shows Gentile believers grafted into this people without replacing Israel; God keeps all His promises.


With rejoicing

• Deliverance is never stoic. At the Red Sea, Miriam grabbed a tambourine and led the women in dance (Exodus 15:20-21).

Psalm 126:2 says, “Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy.” Redemption naturally erupts in celebration—an antidote to grim religiosity.

• Even creation joins the party: “Let the rivers clap their hands; let the mountains sing together for joy before the LORD” (Psalm 98:8-9).


His chosen

• Election underscores grace: “The LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His treasured possession” (Psalm 135:4).

Deuteronomy 7:7-8 reminds us the choice rested in God’s love, not Israel’s size or strength.

• Believers today hear the same assurance: “He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:4), proving that divine choice fuels humble gratitude, never pride.


With shouts of joy

• The rescue climaxed in audible praise—loud, communal, unashamed. Think Jericho’s walls falling “after the people had shouted a great shout” (Joshua 6:20).

Psalm 47:1 encourages, “Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with a voice of triumph.”

Luke 19:37 records disciples “beginning to rejoice and praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen,” showing continuity between Old and New Testament worship.


summary

Psalm 105:43 celebrates the Lord’s historical, covenantal, and joyful deliverance of His people. He acted; they belonged; the outcome was exuberant praise. The pattern still stands: God brings His chosen out of bondage into freedom, and the only fitting response is rejoicing that echoes through every generation and, ultimately, into eternity.

(43) Gladness.--Better, singing. Alluding, possibly, to Miriam's song on the shore of the Red Sea.

Verse 43. - And brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness. The "bringing forth" intended is that of the Israelites from the wilderness into Canaan. It was naturally attended with much "joy" and "gladness."
