3 Thank the Lord of all lords. His love never quits. 4 Thank the miracle-working God, His love never quits. 5 The God whose skill formed the cosmos, His love never quits. 6 The God who laid out earth on ocean foundations, His love never quits. 7 The God who filled the skies with light, His love never quits. 8 The sun to watch over the day, His love never quits. 9 Moon and stars as guardians of the night, His love never quits.
10 The God who struck down the Egyptian firstborn, His love never quits. 11 And rescued Israel from Egypt's oppression, His love never quits. 12 Took Israel in hand with his powerful hand, His love never quits. 13 Split the Red Sea right in half, His love never quits.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 136:3-13
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.
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.
