Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible
Psalms 136
Verses 1-26
x x x x x x
CXXXVI. A long Hymn of Praise for Yahweh's Power and His Care of His People from Egypt till the Conquest of Canaan.
Psalms 136:1-9 based on Genesis 1. Yahweh the Maker of all.
Psalms 136:6. For the waters below the earth, see on Psalms 24:2.
Psalms 136:10-22. Yahweh's vengeance on Pharaoh and the kings who opposed Israel's entrance into the promised land. His mercy to Israel in later days.
Psalms 136:23-26. Gratitude for recent deliverance.
Psalms 136:24 sounds strange in a Ps. which exults in the slaughter of the heathen—but it is easier to admit an inconsistency than to limit "all flesh" to all Jews.
