11 And brought out H3318 Israel H3478 from among H8432 them: for his mercy H2617 endureth for ever: H5769
And it came to pass the selfsame H6106 day, H3117 that the LORD H3068 did bring H3318 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 by their armies. H6635
And Moses H4872 said H559 unto the people, H5971 Remember H2142 this H2088 day, H3117 in which ye came out H3318 from Egypt, H4714 out of the house H1004 of bondage; H5650 for by strength H2392 of hand H3027 the LORD H3068 brought you out H3318 from this place: there shall no leavened bread H2557 be eaten. H398
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh H6547 had let the people H5971 go, H7971 that God H430 led H5148 them not through the way H1870 of the land H776 of the Philistines, H6430 although H3588 that was near; H7138 for God H430 said, H559 Lest peradventure the people H5971 repent H5162 when they see H7200 war, H4421 and they return H7725 to Egypt: H4714
And Samuel H8050 said H559 unto the people, H5971 It is the LORD H3068 that advanced H6213 Moses H4872 and Aaron, H175 and that brought H5927 your fathers H1 up H5927 out of the land H776 of Egypt. H4714 Now therefore stand still, H3320 that I may reason H8199 with you before H6440 the LORD H3068 of all the righteous acts H6666 of the LORD, H3068 which he did H6213 to you and to your fathers. H1 When Jacob H3290 was come H935 into Egypt, H4714 and your fathers H1 cried H2199 unto the LORD, H3068 then the LORD H3068 sent H7971 Moses H4872 and Aaron, H175 which brought forth H3318 your fathers H1 out of Egypt, H4714 and made them dwell H3427 in this place.

Commentary on Psalms 136 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
PSALM 136
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.
4. alone—excluding all help.
5, 6. by wisdom—or, "in wisdom" (Ps 104:24).
made—literally, "maker of."
above the waters—or, "higher than the waters" (Ps 24:2).
12. Compare similar expressions (Ex 3:20; De 4:34, &c.).
15. overthrew—literally, "shook off," as in Ex 14:27, as a contemptuous rejection of a reptile.
23. remembered us—or, "for us" (Ps 132:1).
our low estate—that is, captivity.
24. And hath redeemed us—or, literally, "snatched us"—alluding to the sudden deliverance effected by the overthrow of Babylon.
25. To the special favors to His people is added the record of God's goodness to all His creatures (compare Mt 6:30).
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.
