1 An exhortation to give thanks to God for particular
mercies.
- (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.
VERSE 1
- Give thanks.
* :1 105:1; 106:1; 107:1; 118:1; 119:68 2Ch 7:3,6 Ezr 3:11 Jer 33:11

VERSE 4

* :18 72:18; 86:10 Ex 15:11 Job 5:9 Re 15:3
VERSE 5
In 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.

VERSE 8
- The sun.
* :3 148:3 Jer 31:35 Mt 5:45
- to rule. Heb. for the rulings.
VERSE 9
- The 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.
