Oh give thanks unto the Lord of lords;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him who alone doeth great wonders;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:

With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm;

To him that divided the Red Sea in sunder;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
And made Israel to pass through the midst of it;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
But {Hebrew: shook off.}overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that led his people through the wilderness;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that smote great kings;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
And slew famous kings;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
Sihon king of the Amorites;
For his lovingkindness endureth forever;
And Og king of Bashan;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
And gave their land for a heritage;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
Even a heritage unto Israel his servant;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
Who remembered us in our low estate;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
And hath delivered us from our adversaries;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
Who giveth food to all flesh;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Oh give thanks unto the God of heaven;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Querverweise zu Psalm 136,5 Ps 136,5
By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made,And all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works!In wisdom hast thou made them all:The earth is full of thy {Or, creatures}riches.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Jehovah by wisdom founded the earth;By understanding he established the heavens.
By his knowledge the depths were broken up,And the skies drop down the dew.
Jehovah {Or, formed}possessed me {Or, as}in the beginning of his way, {Or, The first of}Before his works of old.
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,Before the earth was.
When there were no depths, I was brought forth,When there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled,Before the hills was I brought forth;
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,Nor the {Or, sum}beginning of the dust of the world.
When he {Or, prepared}established the heavens, I was there:When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,
When he made firm the skies above,When the fountains of the deep became strong,
When he gave to the sea {Or, his decree}its bound,That the waters should not transgress his commandment,When he {Or, appointed}marked out the foundations of the earth;
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens.
