Psalm 136 sings the great refrain, "His mercy (or loving kindness) endureth for ever." This expression is in each of the twenty-six verses. Each verse exalts Jehovah: "He is good" (verse 1); “He is the God of gods," and "Lord of lords" (verses 2-3).
Verses 4-9 tell His creation glory, and verses 10-22 His acts on behalf of. Israel and against their enemies, while verses 23-24 refer to the later history of the people.
Every verse is significant, but these last verses are very precious. He hath remembered us in our low estate, delivered us, gives food to all for His loving kindness endureth forever,—setting forth the amazing love, grace and mercy of our Saviour God who has freed the confessed sinner from the slavery of Satan, and made the fullest, richest provision for his case for all eternity. Here again, then, Israel and the Church can join in a song of redemption.
