1361 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age 'is' His kindness. 2 Give ye thanks to the God of gods, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 3 Give ye thanks to the Lord of lords, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 4 To Him doing great wonders by Himself alone, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 5 To Him making the heavens by understanding, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 6 To Him spreading the earth over the waters, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 7 To Him making great lights, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 8 The sun to rule by day, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 9 The moon and stars to rule by night, For to the age 'is' His kindness.

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.
