Psalms Chapter 136
1
Ps 136:1-26.
简体中文
English original
Ps 136:1-26.
The theme is the same as that of Psalm 135. God should be praised for His works of creation and providence, His deliverance and care of His people, and judgments on their enemies, and His goodness to all. The chorus to every verse is in terms of that of
Ps 106:1; 118:1-4,
and was perhaps used as the Amen by the people, in worship (compare
1Ch 16:36; Ps 105:45).
1-3. The divine titles denote supremacy.

26. 天上的神——在被掳之前只出现一次
(Jon 1:9)。 后期的作者使用它，特别为要区分神与偶像。
English original
26. God of heaven--occurs but once
(Jon 1:9)
before the captivity. It is used by the later writers as specially distinguishing God from idols.
Ps 136:1-26.
主题与诗篇一百三十五篇相同。神当因祂创造和护理的作为、对祂百姓的拯救和眷顾、对其仇敌的审判，以及对所有人的良善而受赞美。每一节末的副歌采用与
Ps 106:1; 118:1-4
相同的语句，可能由会众在敬拜中用作阿们（参
1Ch 16:36； Ps 105:45）。
1-3. 这些神的称号表示至高无上的主权。
