‏ Psalms 136:4-10

Verse 4. Who alone doeth great wonders] MIRACLES. No power but that which is almighty can work miracles, niphlaoth, the inversion, or suspension, or destruction of the laws of nature.

Verse 5. By wisdom made the heavens] In the contrivance of the celestial bodies, in their relations, connexions, influences on each other, revolutions, &c., the wisdom of God particularly appears.

Verse 6. Stretched out the earth above the waters] Or, upon the waters. This seems to refer to a central abyss of waters, the existence of which has not been yet disproved.

Verse 7. Great lights] See the notes on the parallel passages in Genesis, &c.

Verse 10. Smote Egypt in their first-born] This was one of the heaviest of strokes: a great part of the rising generation was cut off; few but old persons and children left remaining.
