Context — Tell of His Wonders
25whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
26He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words. 29He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.Cross References

| 1 | Psalms 78:43–51 | when He performed His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the fields of Zoan. He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink. He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them. He gave their crops to the grasshopper, the fruit of their labor to the locust. He killed their vines with hailstones and their sycamore-figs with sleet. He abandoned their cattle to the hail and their livestock to bolts of lightning. He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity— a band of destroying angels. He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague. He struck all the firstborn of Egypt, the virility in the tents of Ham. |
| 2 | Nehemiah 9:10–11 | You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all his officials, and all the people of his land, for You knew they had acted with arrogance against our fathers. You made a name for Yourself that endures to this day. You divided the sea before them, and they crossed through it on dry ground. You hurled their pursuers into the depths like a stone into raging waters. |

| 4 | Exodus 7:1–11 | The LORD answered Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. You are to speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land. But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay My hand on Egypt, and by mighty acts of judgment I will bring the divisions of My people the Israelites out of the land of Egypt. And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out My hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.” So Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded them. Moses was eighty years old and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh. The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “When Pharaoh tells you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ you are to say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a serpent. ” So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD had commanded. Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent. But Pharaoh called the wise men and sorcerers and magicians of Egypt, and they also did the same things by their magic arts. |

You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror. |
| 7 | Deuteronomy 4:34 | Or has any god tried to take as his own a nation out of another nation—by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors—as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes? |

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 105:27
They showed his signs among them,.... The Egyptians to whom they were sent; that is, Moses and Aaron did. In the original it is, "the words of his signs" (x).
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 105:27
They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. They showed his signs - literally, 'the things (Hebrew, words) of His signs;' i:e., whole series of His signs, (Psalms 78:43 : cf.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 105:27
His signs, Heb. the words of his signs; an emphatical expression. First they boldly declared the word and will of God concerning the several plagues, and then they actually inflicted them.

Psalms 105:27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.Ver. 27. They showed his signs] Heb. the words of his signs; for God’ s wondrous works are vocal, they are real sermons of God’ s power and justice. See Exodus 4:8.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 105:27
(27) They shewed.—Literally, They placed, i.e., did. His signs.—Literally (as in margin), the words of his tokens; but it may also be rendered, “the details of his signs.”(Comp. Psalms 65:3 : “matters of iniquity,” or, “details of sin.”) So here, “details of signs,” i.e., signs in detail or sequence, sign after sign.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 105:27
Verse 27. They showed his signs] Here is a reference to the plagues with which God afflicted the Egyptians. See the places in the margin, and the notes on them.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 105:27
27. They shewed &c.] Moses and Aaron. But the parallel passages in Psalms 78:43; Exodus 10:2 (cp. Jeremiah 32:20) make it probable that we should follow most of the Ancient Versions (LXX, Aq. Symm. Syr. Jer.) in reading the singular, He set; and this agrees better with the context, as Jehovah is the subject in Psalms 105:24-26; Psalms 105:28-29. his signs] Lit. the acts or matters of his signs (cp. the acts or matters of his wondrous works in Psalms 145:5): i.e. his various signs: hardly, the words or message of his signs, “as being declarations of God’s will and command to let His people go.”
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 105:27
They shewed his signs among them - literally, “They placed among them the words of his signs.” So the margin.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 105:27
27. His signs—Literally, the words of his signs; that is, the meaning of his miracles, which were the tokens of his supremacy and of his will.
