17 To Him who smote great kings , For His lovingkindness is everlasting , 18 And slew mighty kings , For His lovingkindness is everlasting : 19 Sihon , king of the Amorites , For His lovingkindness is everlasting , 20 And Og , king of Bashan , For His lovingkindness is everlasting , 21 And gave their land as a heritage , For His lovingkindness is everlasting , 22 Even a heritage to Israel His servant , For His lovingkindness is everlasting .
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.
