Psalm 105 begins with:
1 Give thanks to Yahweh.
Call on him.
Make known among the nations what he has done.
All nations have their gods. Jews, in general, are not prone to convert other people to Judaism, but this verse resembles to the Abraham calling where (genesis 22:18) all nations will be blessed through him.
Psalm 105 highlight the promises to Abraham:
10 He confirmed it as a law for Jacob,
as an everlasting promise to Israel,
11 by saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan.
It is your share of the inheritance.”
He continues to say that the Lord moved his creation in order to redeem Israel from Egypt and set them in Canaan.
Are we Christians (not Jews) supposed to give thanks to the Lord for Israel redemption?
Yes, we are.
We are ingrafted branches in the vine (Romans 11), in Israel.
We also praise Him for what his intervention in the Earth, so that we too were redeemed from our sins.
