Commentary on Psalms 136:1

Theological / Devotional

O give thanks. There is no time when it is inappropriate to render thanks to God for His goodness and mercy to man.

His mercy endureth for ever. Literally, “for to eternity his love.” The word translated “mercy” is chesed, which means, “divine love” (see Additional Note on Ps. 36). The refrain is repeated in every verse of this song.
