O give thanks." image: "/images/missing.jpg" url: "https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/136" --- **the LORD.** Hebrew *Jehovah* App-4 . **For, &c.** Figures of Speech. *Amoebaeon and Epistrophe.* App-6 . **mercy** = loving-kindness, or grace. **O give thanks.** Note the Figures of speech *Coenotes* and *Anaphora* ( App-6 ) in verses: [Psalms 136:1](../../../kjv/psalms/136/1) , [Psalms 136:2](../../../kjv/psalms/136/2) , [Psalms 136:3](../../../kjv/psalms/136/3) . **God of gods.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* of the elohim. App-4 . **gods.** Hebrew. *'elohim.* See note on [Psalms 135:5](../../../kjv/psalms/135/5) and [Exodus 22:9](../../../kjv/exodus/22/9) . **LORD of lords.** Hebrew Adonim of the adonim. App-4 . Compare [Deuteronomy 10:17](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/10/17) . **made the heavens.** Compare [Genesis 1:1](../../../kjv/genesis/1/1) . **above.** i.e. in [Genesis 1:1](../../../kjv/genesis/1/1) , and [2 Peter 3:5](../../../kjv/2-peter/3/5) . By the overthrow of [Genesis 1:2](../../../kjv/genesis/1/2) the earth became a ruin, being "overflowed" ([2 Peter 3:6](../../../kjv/2-peter/3/6) ), and covered with "the deep" ([Genesis 1:2](../../../kjv/genesis/1/2) ). **great lights.** [Genesis 1:14](../../../kjv/genesis/1/14) , "lightholders". **to rule** = to have dominion. [Genesis 1:16-18](../../../kjv/genesis/1/16-18) . **smote Egypt.** Compare [Exodus 12:29](../../../kjv/exodus/12/29) . **brought out Israel.** Compare [Exodus 13:17](../../../kjv/exodus/13/17) . **hand . . . arm.** Figure of speech *Anthropopatheia* ( App-6 ). **overthrew** = shook off. **Sihon, &c.** These two verses (verses: [Psalms 136:19](../../../kjv/psalms/136/19) , [Psalms 136:20](../../../kjv/psalms/136/20) ) not an "interpolation". See note above. **their:** i.e. Sihon *'* s and Og's. Not a verse "clearly dropped out", which contained the noun for this pronoun. The kings named show "whose" land is referred to. An "interpolation" from which a verse has "dropped out" is a new idea in the field of imaginative criticism; and, if true, would be quite unworthy of a "commentator *'* s" time and trouble. **redeemed** = rescued. Hebrew. *parak* = to break. Thus to rescue, by breaking the bonds. Rendered "redeem" only here (and [Daniel 4:27](../../../kjv/daniel/4/27) in the Vulgate versions: Authorized Version "break off"). **enemies** = adversaries. **food.** Hebrew = bread. Put by Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of Species) for all kinds of food. **flesh.** Put by Figure of speech *Synecdoche* (of Part) for all living beings. App-6 . **GOD.** Hebrew El. App-4 . **GOD of heaven.** See note on [2 Chronicles 36:23](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/36/23) . ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/136#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 136"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/136#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/136","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 136","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/psalms/136#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"the LORD.
