4 To Him who alone does great wonders, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. 5 To Him who made the heavens by understanding, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. 6 To Him who spread the earth above the waters, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. 7 To Him who made great lights, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 8 The sun to rule by day, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 9 The moon and stars to rule by night, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. 10 To Him who smote the Egyptians in their first-born, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 11 And brought forth Israel from their midst, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 12 With mighty strong hand and outstretched arm, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. 13 To Him that cut the Red Sea into parts, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 14 And made Israel pass through the midst of it, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 15 And shook out Pharaoh and his host into the Red Sea, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. 16 To Him who led His people in the wilderness, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. 17 To Him who smote great kings, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 18 And slew mighty kings, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 19 Sihon, king of the Amorites, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 20 And Og, king of Bashan, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 21 And gave their land for an inheritance, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 22 An inheritance to Israel His servant, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. 23 Who in our low estate remembered us, For His loving-kindness endures for ever; 24 And tore us from the grasp of our adversaries, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. 25 Who gives bread to all flesh, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. 26 Give thanks to the God of heaven, For His loving-kindness endures for ever. This psalm is evidently intended for liturgic use. It contains reminiscences of many parts of Scripture, and is especially based on the previous psalm, which it follows closely in vv. 10-18, and quotes directly in vv. 19-22. Delitzsch points out that if these quoted verses are omitted, the psalm falls into triplets. It would then also contain twenty-two verses, corresponding to the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The general trend of thought is like that of Psalm cxxxv.; but the addition in each verse of the refrain gives a noble swing and force to this exulting song.
