Why is He called "Go'alecha"?
Malbim: He will redeem you in the future.
Why is He called "Yotzercha mi'Beten"?
Rashi: From when "va'Yisrotzetzu ha'Banim b'Kirbah" (Bereishis 25:22), I helped you and chose you.
Why does it say "Oseh Kol"?
Radak: I made the entire world at the time of creation, and I was alone 1 , and every day I sustain it with My strength.
Malbim: This refutes those who say that the world was perforce created from Hashem, like a shadow from the sun, and an idea from an intellectual, like Aristotle held. I make (create) everything, including matter - this refutes those who say that the physical substance always existed, and Hashem merely formed it.
Radak citing Bereishis Rabah: All agree that the angels were not created on the first day, lest people say that Micha'el stretched [Shamayim] in the south, Gavriel in the north and Hashem in the middle. Rather, I did everything alone.
Why does it say "Levadi" and "me'Iti"?
Radak: I am before all created beings. At the time of creation I was alone, and everything was from Me and My power. Me'Iti is written Mi Iti - who was a partner with Me in creation?!
Why does it say "Noteh Shamayim"?
Radak: Refer to 42:5:2:2.
Malbim: This refutes those who say that the world developed from Hashem via [other] causes. I stretched Shamayim alone, without help!
What is "Roka ha'Aretz"?
Radak: Refer to 42:5:3:1.
Malbim: This refutes those who say that conduct of the land was handed over to nature, for surely I flattened the land over the water. This is against nature that water surround the land (Yesod ha'Afar) all around, and not to be under it!
