For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Oh give thanks unto the God of gods;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
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:
To him that by understanding made the heavens;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that spread forth the earth above the waters;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that made great lights;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
The sun to rule by day;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
The moon and stars to rule by night;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that smote Egypt in their first-born;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
And brought out Israel from among them;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
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 136,6 Ps 136,6
For he hath founded it upon the seas,And established it upon the floods.
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment;Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters;Who maketh the clouds his chariot;Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
He stretcheth out the north over empty space,And hangeth the earth {Or, over}upon nothing.
Canst thou with him spread out the sky,Which is strong as a molten mirror?
It is he that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as {Or, gauze}a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb: I am Jehovah, that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth ( {Another reading is, by myself.}who is with me?);
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.
The {Or, oracle}burden of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel.Thus saith Jehovah, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him:
For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and {Or, through}amidst water, by the word of God;
by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been {Or, stored with fire}stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
