Gill's Notes on the Bible

To him that made great lights,.... For the inhabitants of the world to walk and work by, to do all the business of life in a comfortable manner; and which is an instance of mercy and goodness; see Genesis 1:14;

for his mercy [endureth] for ever; these lights continuing for the benefit of mankind.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To him that made great lights - Genesis 1:14. The sun and the moon are here particularly referred to.

For his mercy ... - As manifested in all that has followed from the creation and diffusion of light - (all the beauty in the universe as seen; all the life, beauty, and vigor in the vegetable and animal world; all that there is of life and happiness in the universe - for there could be neither if darkness reigned everywhere); light, the emblem of happiness; the source of joy; the producer, in a great measure, of the beauties of the universe, and the revealer of those beauties everywhere. How can a man think of light and not praise its Author?

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 136:7. Great lights — See the notes on the parallel passages in Genesis, &c. Genesis 1:14-18
