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

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Psalms 136:4

God the Wonder-Worker September 4, 1887 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "To him who along doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever." Psalms 136:4 .

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
