10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, 11 And brought out Israel from among them, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, 12 With a powerful hand and with a stretched-out arm, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; 13 To him that divided the Red sea into parts, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, 14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, 15 And overturned Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; 16 To him that led his people through the wilderness, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; 17 To him that smote great kings, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, 18 And slew famous kings, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; 19 Sihon king of the Amorites, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, 20 And Og king of Bashan, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; 21 And gave their land for an inheritance, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, 22 An inheritance unto Israel his servant, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

Commentary on Psalm 136:10-22
(Read Psalm 136:10-22)
The great things God did for Israel, when he brought them out of Egypt, were mercies which endured long to them; and our redemption by Christ, which was typified thereby, endures for ever. It is good to enter into the history of God's favours, and in each to observe, and own, that his mercy endureth for ever. He put them in possession of a good land; it was a figure of the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.
