17 Give thanks to him who struck down mighty kings. His faithful love endures forever. 18 He killed powerful kings- His faithful love endures forever. 19 Sihon king of the Amorites, His faithful love endures forever. 20 and Og king of Bashan. His faithful love endures forever. 21 God gave the land of these kings as an inheritance- His faithful love endures forever. 22 a special possession to his servant Israel. His faithful love endures forever.
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.
