Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
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 136,15 Ps 136,15
And he led them safely, so that they feared not;But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
By terrible things thou wilt answer us in righteousness,O God of our salvation,Thou that art the confidence of all the ends of the earth,And {Or, of the sea, afar off}of them that are afar off upon the sea:
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt,Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;
Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not,And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.
For they have devoured Jacob,And laid waste his {Or, pasture}habitation.
Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers:Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us;For we are brought very low.
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name;And deliver us, and {Or, expiate}forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its {Or, wonted flow}strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah {Hebrew: shook off.}overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
And in thy lovingkindness cut off mine enemies,And destroy all them that afflict my soul;For I am thy servant.
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them.
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand,The earth swallowed them.
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea;And his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
Thou in thy lovingkindness hast led the people that thou hast redeemed:Thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation.
The deeps cover them:They went down into the depths like a stone.
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
To show mercy towards our fathers,And to remember his holy covenant;
The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father,
To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemiesShould serve him without fear,
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them:They sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Who is like unto thee, O Jehovah, among the gods?Who is like thee, glorious in holiness,Fearful in praises, doing wonders?
and showedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land; for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them, and didst get thee a name, as it is this day.
And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their pursuers thou didst cast into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.
