F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 136:1-12

a Review of God’s Mercies Psalms 136:1-12 An antiphonal psalm, intended to be sung by two choirs or by a soloist and the Temple choir. This avowal of the eternity of God’s mercy, amid all the fluctuation and change of human affairs, is very striking. When we can look out on the history of our world from God’s standpoint, we discover that the black-edged pages have been interleaved with golden pages of mercy. When we review our own lives from the vantage ground of heaven, we shall see that... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 136:1-26

This is a song of the age-abiding mercy of Jehovah. It opens and closes with a call to praise, and in its main movements sets forth the reason for such praise. In the opening call the three great names or titles of God are made use of, viz., Jehovah, Elohim, Adonahy. The first is mentioned in its lonely splendour, as it always is. There is no attempt at qualification of comparison. The second is used in comparison. He is the God of gods. All other mighty beings, false or true, are less than... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 136:1-26

INTRODUCTION“This Psalm,” says Perowne, “is little more than a variation and repetition of the preceding Psalm. It opens with the same liturgical formula with which the 106th and 118th Psalms open, and was evidently designed to be sung antiphonally in the Temple worship. Its structure is peculiar. The first line of each verse pursues the theme of the Psalm, the second line, ‘For His loving-kindness endureth for ever,’ being a kind of refrain or response, like the responses, for instance, in our... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 136:1-26

Shall we turn now our Bibles to Psalms 136:1-26 . Throughout the one-hundred-and-thirty-sixth psalm, we have the repeated phrase, "For His mercy endureth forever." And this is repeated in each of the verses throughout the entire psalm. And so he begins the psalm by an exhortation of giving thanks.O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever ( Psalms 136:1 ).Over and over in the psalms, this is a repeated kind of a refrain. Remember this is their songbook, and so... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 136:1-26

This psalm has no title in the Hebrew, and the author is unknown. It is reckoned the grand Te Deum of the Hebrew choir. The repetitions at the end of every verse, have correspondent examples in Greek and Latin poetry. This should not be done, except for great emphases. Psalms 136:1 . For his mercy endureth for ever. Hebrews כי לעולם חסדו Ki le-ôlam chasdo. The Hebrew word ôlam, as in Psalms 90:2, from everlasting to everlasting thou art God, when applied either to God, or to his... read more

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 136:2

Psa 136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. Ver. 2. For his mercy endureth for ever ] This is the foot or burden of the whole song; neither is it any idle repetition, but a notable expression of the saints’ unsatisfiableness in praising God for his never failing mercy. These heavenly birds, having got a note, record it over and over. In the last psalm there are but six verses, yet twelve Hallelujahs. read more
