תהלים, פרק ע״ז, פסוק ט״ו

God's absolute power bridges the gap between heaven and earth, revealing His presence through extraordinary events that alter the natural world [מאירי]. He alone holds true power, and no other force exists beside Him [מצודת דוד, רד״ק]. In His actions, God operates on two distinct levels. He performs hidden wonders that go unnoticed by human eyes, alongside clear, physical miracles [אבן עזרא]. These visible miracles actively change the laws of nature through clear signs [מאירי], reaching their absolute peak during the grand revelation at Mount Sinai [רד״ק].

Through these monumental events, God broadcasts His strength and might to the entire world [ביאור שטיינזלץ, מצודת דוד]. Historically, this global awareness was achieved during the Exodus from Egypt and the subsequent victories over the kings of Canaan, all performed for the sake of the Israelites [רד״ק, מאירי].

These actions also reveal a deep distinction in how God governs the world. Generally, the name of God represents the kindness that serves as the foundation of creation. However, when dealing with the other nations of the world, God reveals Himself through strict justice. By making His power known among the nations through these wonders, He is not extending kindness to them, but rather striking them. This method of leadership shows that the foundational kindness of the world was not intended for them [אלשיך].
