Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

In the contrivance of the celestial bodies - in their specific gravities, relations, connections, influences on each other, revolutions, etc.; and in the wonderful adaptation of the atmosphere for the purposes of refracting the light, forming rain, dew, snow, etc., are exhibited the most astonishing displays of the Divine wisdom. Psalms 33:6, Psalms 104:24, Genesis 1:1, Proverbs 3:19, Proverbs 3:20, Proverbs 8:22-29, Jeremiah 51:15

Reciprocal: Genesis 1:6 - Let there Genesis 1:9 - General Genesis 2:1 - Thus 2 Chronicles 2:12 - that made heaven Nehemiah 9:6 - thou hast Job 9:4 - wise in heart Psalms 26:7 - tell Psalms 146:6 - made heaven Proverbs 8:27 - he prepared Jeremiah 10:12 - hath made Jeremiah 27:5 - made Jeremiah 32:17 - thou Zechariah 12:1 - which

Gill's Notes on the Bible

To him that by wisdom made the heavens,.... In such a curious manner, in such a proper and delightful situation, with such furniture, and for such uses, Proverbs 3:19;

for his mercy [endureth] for ever; which appears in the continued influences of the heaven; the dew, rain, and snow, that descend from it on the earth to water and make it fruitful, and to produce those rich and valuable blessings called the "precious things of heaven",

Deuteronomy 33:13; and which are of the utmost importance for the service of man and beast: and, besides, God has of his infinite mercy, which continues, provided an inheritance in the heavens, a house eternal in the heavens, mansions of bliss and glory there, which Christ is now preparing for his saints, that they may dwell with him in them for evermore.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To him that by wisdom made the heavens - Made them in so wise a manner; where so much wisdom was manifested. See Proverbs 3:19; Proverbs 8:24-31.

For his mercy ... - The making of the heavens was a manifestation of mercy and goodness as furnishing an abode for unfallen and holy beings; as a dwelling-place for redeemed sinners when they shall be removed there from the earth; and as, by their order, their beauty, their harmony, and their happy influences, tending to promote the happiness of man on earth.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 136:5. By wisdom made the heavens — In the contrivance of the celestial bodies, in their relations, connexions, influences on each other, revolutions, &c., the wisdom of God particularly appears.
