Torrey, [ca. 1880]\nOverview\nPsa 136:1, An exhortation to give thanks to God for particular mercies.\n(Title), This Psalm is little else than a repetition of the preceding, with the addition of the burden, \"for his mercy endureth for ever,\" at the end of each verse; and it was doubtless composed on the same occasion. It seems evidently to have been a responsive song; the first part of the verse being probably sung by the Levites, and the burden by the people.\nGive thanks: Psa 105:1, Psa 106:1, Psa 107:1, Psa 118:1, Psa 119:68; Ch2 7:3, Ch2 7:6; Ezr 3:11; Jer 33:11\nfor his mercy: Psa 103:17; Ch1 16:34, Ch1 16:41; Ch2 20:21; Luk 1:50; Jde 1:21\nthe God: Psa 82:1, Psa 97:7, Psa 97:9; Exo 18:11; Deu 10:17; Jos 22:22; Ch2 2:5; Dan 2:47\nthe Lord: Ti1 6:15; Rev 17:14, Rev 19:16\nwho alone: Psa 72:18, Psa 86:10; Exo 15:11; Job 5:9; Rev 15:3\nIn the contrivance of the celestial bodies - in their specific gravities, relations, connections, influences on each other, revolutions, etc.; and in the wonderful adaptation of the atmosphere for the purposes of refracting the light, forming rain, dew, snow, etc., are exhibited the most astonishing displays of the Divine wisdom.\nPsa 33:6, Psa 104:24; Gen 1:1; Pro 3:19, Pro 3:20, Pro 8:22-29; Jer 51:15\nPsa 24:2, Psa 104:2, Psa 104:3; Gen 1:9; Job 26:7, Job 37:18; Isa 40:22, Isa 44:24; Jer 10:12; Zac 12:1; Pe2 3:5-7\nPsa 74:16, Psa 74:17, Psa 104:19; Gen 1:14-19; Deu 4:19\nThe sun: Psa 148:3; Jer 31:35; Mat 5:45\nto rule: Heb. for the rulings\nThe moon and stars: The sun is the monarch of day, the state of light; the moon of the night, the state of darkness. The rays of the sun falling on the atmosphere, are refracted and diffused over the whole of the hemisphere of the earth immediately under his orb; while those rays of that vast luminary which, because of the earth's smallness in comparison with the sun, are diffused on all sides beyond the earth, falling on the opaque disc of the moon, are reflected back on the lower hemisphere, or the part of the earth opposite the sun. But the reflected light being 50,000 times less in intensity than that of the sun, there is a sufficient distinction between day and night, though each is ruled and determined by one of these two great lights.
