17 Smashed huge kingdoms right and left, His love never quits. 18 Struck down the famous kings, His love never quits. 19 Struck Sihon the Amorite king, His love never quits. 20 Struck Og the Bashanite king, His love never quits. 21 Then distributed their land as booty, His love never quits. 22 Handed the land over to Israel. His love never quits.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 136:17-22
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.
