1361 Give thanks to the Lord , for He is good , For His lovingkindness is everlasting . 2 Give thanks to the God of gods , For His lovingkindness is everlasting . 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords , For His lovingkindness is everlasting . 4 To Him who alone does great wonders , For His lovingkindness is everlasting ; 5 To Him who made the heavens with skill , For His lovingkindness is everlasting ; 6 To Him who spread out the earth above the waters , For His lovingkindness is everlasting ; 7 To Him who made the great lights , For His lovingkindness is everlasting : 8 The sun to rule by day , For His lovingkindness is everlasting , 9 The moon and stars to rule by night , For His lovingkindness is everlasting .

Commentary on Psalm 136:1-9
(Read Psalm 136:1-9)
Forgetful as we are, things must be often repeated to us. By "mercy" we understand the Lord's disposition to save those whom sin has rendered miserable and vile, and all the provision he has made for the redemption of sinners by Jesus Christ. The counsels of this mercy have been from everlasting, and the effects of it will endure for ever, to all who are interested in it. The Lord continues equally ready to show mercy to all who seek for it, and this is the source of all our hope and comfort.
