Psalms136

Psalm 136 is a hymn of thanksgiving, repeatedly declaring that the LORD's mercy "endureth for ever." It enumerates God's goodness as the Creator of the heavens and earth, and the provider of great lights. The psalm also recounts His mighty acts of deliverance for Israel, from the Exodus out of Egypt to the conquest of kings and the granting of their land as an inheritance. It concludes by praising God for remembering His people and providing for all flesh.
