Footnotes

  1. Psalm 136:4 This psalm has special indentation and punctuation to set off the repeated refrain that interrupts the body of the psalm. Dashes at the end of a line indicate that the line is one unit of a string of descriptions that form one basis for thanks. In all of the lines from verses 4 through 22 one must assume the repetition of the verb give thanks to from the previous section, verses 1-3. Occasionally a comma is substituted for the dash to show that this line must be joined with the next line to complete one of the units that begins with to him who.
