PSALMS 136:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Ps 136:3Ps 136:5
To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
God's solitary performance of great wonders emphasizes that miracles and extraordinary acts belong uniquely to God; no human or false god can perform them. The term wonders (נפלאות) suggests actions that inspire awe and admiration, which characterize God's interventions in history. The attribution of all wonders to God alone makes clear that Israel's deliverance and protection flow from divine initiative, not human strategy or strength. This verse positions the subsequent historical rehearsal as illustration of these wonders.
