Psalm 136: For His Mercy Endureth for Ever

This script is a full reading of Psalm 136, a repeated call to give thanks to the Lord, the God of gods and Lord of lords, because “his mercy endureth for ever.” It praises God as the one who alone does great wonders, made the heavens and earth, and set the sun, moon, and stars to rule day and night. It recounts God’s deliverance of Israel from Egypt, the judgment on Egypt’s firstborn, the parting of the Red Sea, and the overthrow of Pharaoh’s host. It continues with God’s guidance through the wilderness, victory over kings such as Sihon and Og, and the gift of their land as an inheritance to Israel. The psalm closes by thanking God for remembering his people in low estate, redeeming them from enemies, and providing food to all flesh.
