The Hebrew root for "oppress" is "&#1506;&#1464;&#1513;&#1463;&#1473;&#1511;" (ashaq), which conveys the idea of wronging or exploiting someone. Historically, this reflects God's intervention during the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, ensuring that no foreign power could subjugate them. This divine protection is a testament to God's covenant faithfulness, reminding believers that God is a shield against injustice and oppression.<p><b>He rebuked kings on their behalf</b><br />The word "rebuked" comes from the Hebrew "&#1490;&#1464;&#1468;&#1506;&#1463;&#1512;" (ga'ar), meaning to reprove or chide. This indicates a strong divine intervention where God actively confronts and corrects those in power who threaten His people. The historical context includes instances like God's dealings with Pharaoh in Egypt, where He demonstrated His supremacy over earthly rulers. This phrase reassures believers of God's sovereignty and His willingness to confront and correct those who oppose His divine will and the welfare of His people.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/105.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) <span class= "bld">Wrong.</span>--The allusion is doubtless to the incidents connected with Sarah and Rebekah at the courts of Egypt and Philistia.
