355. Internal Meaning of Psalm 105

The establishment of the church by the Lord, and the reformation of the natural man. (11)

1-7 Song in praise of the Lord and of His works for the establishment of the church (11, 16)

8-15 The establishment of the church in the beginning, and her protection from falsities of evils. (11)

16 When there was no longer any truth, (3)

17-18 the Lord came, and they afflicted Him; (4, 7)

19-22 but He afterwards became the God of heaven and earth. (10)

23-24 Hence those who were of the church were natural, and in knowledges [scientifica]; (11)

25-36 therefore their natural has been purged of falsities and evils of every kind, which infested; these here treated of; (11)

37-41 afterwards truth and good, and protection from falsities, are granted them, (11)

42-45 and He causes them to be a church. (11)
