**לְעֹשֵׂה נִפְלָאוֹת גְּדוֹלוֹת לְבַדּוֹ.** בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה לֹא נִבְרָא מַלְאָךְ כְּשֶׁעֲשָׂאָן לַנִּפְלָאוֹת הַלָּלוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ, הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְהַיָּרֵחַ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**To Him Who performs great wonders alone** In the beginning, no angel was created when He made the wonders: the heaven, the earth, the sun and the moon.

**לְמַכֵּה מִצְרַיִם בִּבְכוֹרֵיהֶם.** בְּכוֹרֵיהֶם לֹא נֶאֱמַר, אֶלָּא **בִּבְכוֹרֵיהֶם**: עָמְדוּ בְּכוֹרִים וְקִפְּחוּ שׁוֹקָן שֶׁל אֲבִיהֶם הַמְעַכְּבִים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל כְּשֶׁשָּׁמְעוּ נֶגַע עֲשִׂירִי מִפִּי מֹשֶׁה:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**To Him Who smote the Egyptians with their firstborn** It does not say, “their firstborn,” but “with their firstborn.” The firstborn arose and beat their fathers’ legs because they detained Israel, when they heard about the tenth plague from Moses.

**מְלָכִים גְּדוֹלִים.** כָּאן רָמַז שְׁלֹשִׁים וְאֶחָד מְלָכִים, וְהִשְׁוָה לָהֶם פַּרְעֹה וְחֵילוֹ וּמַכַּת מִצְרַיִם לִמְלָכִים אַדִּירִים קָשִׁים מֵהֶם. שָׁקוּל סִיחוֹן כְּנֶגֶד כֻּלָּם, כָּל אֶחָד לְעַצְמוֹ. וְכֵן פֵּרֵשׁ לְמַעְלָה: ״לְסִיחוֹן מֶלֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִי וּלְעוֹג מֶלֶךְ הַבָּשָׁן וּלְכֹל מַמְלְכוֹת כְּנָעַן״ (תהלים קלה:יא). כֵּן בָּאַגָּדָה:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**great kings** Here he alluded to the thirty-one kings, and he compared for them Pharaoh and his host and the plagues of Egypt to mighty kings, harsher than they. Sihon was equal to all of them, [and Og was equal to all of them (Machzor Vitry)], each one individually, and so did he explain above (135: 11): “Sihon the king of the Amorites and Og the king of Bashan and all the kingdoms of Canaan.” So it is in the Aggadah.

**הוֹדוּ לְאֵל הַשָּׁמָיִם.** הַמֵּכִין בָּהֶם מָזוֹן לְכָל בְּרִיָּה. עֶשְׂרִים וְשִׁשָּׁה ״כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ״ נֶאֶמְרוּ בְּמִזְמוֹר זֶה, כְּנֶגֶד עֶשְׂרִים וְשִׁשָּׁה דּוֹרוֹת שֶׁהָיָה הָעוֹלָם בְּלֹא תּוֹרָה וְנִתְקַיֵּם בְּחַסְדּוֹ שֶׁל הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Gives thanks to the God of heaven** Who prepares therein food for every creature. The expression, “for His kindness is eternal,” appears twenty-six times in this psalm, corresponding to the twenty-six generations that the world was without Torah and existed through the kindness of the Holy One, blessed be He.
