Psalm 136

Thanks For The LORD'S Goodness To Israel.

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His loving kindness is everlasting.

2 Give thanks to the God of gods, For His loving kindness is everlasting.

3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords, For His loving kindness is everlasting.

4 To Him who alone does great wonders, For His loving kindness is everlasting;

5 To Him who made the heavens with skill, For His loving kindness is everlasting;

6 To Him who spread out the earth above the waters, For His loving kindness is everlasting;

7 To Him who made the great lights, For His loving kindness is everlasting:

8 The sun to rule by day, For His loving kindness is everlasting,

9 The moon and stars to rule by night, For His loving kindness is everlasting.

10 To Him who smote the Egyptians in their first born, For His loving kindness is everlasting,

11 And brought Israel out from their midst, For His loving kindness is everlasting,

12 With a strong hand and an outstretched arm, For His loving kindness is everlasting.

13 To Him who divided the Red Sea asunder, For His loving kindness is everlasting,

14 And made Israel pass through the midst of it, For His loving kindness is everlasting;

15 But He overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, For His loving kindness is everlasting.

16 To Him who led His people through the wilderness, For His loving kindness is everlasting;

17 To Him who smote great kings, For His loving kindness is everlasting,

18 And slew mighty kings, For His loving kindness is everlasting:

19 Sihon, king of the Amorites, For His loving kindness is everlasting,

20 And Og, king of Bashan, For His loving kindness is everlasting,

21 And gave their land as a heritage, For His loving kindness is everlasting,

22 Even a heritage to Israel His servant, For His loving kindness is everlasting.

23 Who remembered us in our low estate, For His loving kindness is everlasting,

24 And has rescued us from our adversaries, For His loving kindness is everlasting;

25 Who gives food to all flesh, For His loving kindness is everlasting.

26 Give thanks to the God of heaven, For His loving kindness is everlasting.
