Psalms 136
1 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures for ever.2 O give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures for ever.3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures for ever;4 to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures for ever;5 to him who by understanding made the heavens, for his steadfast love endures for ever;6 to him who spread out the earth upon the waters, for his steadfast love endures for ever;7 to him who made the great lights, for his steadfast love endures for ever;8 the sun to rule over the day, for his steadfast love endures for ever;9 the moon and stars to rule over the night, for his steadfast love endures for ever;
10 to him who smote the first-born of Egypt, for his steadfast love endures for ever;11 and brought Israel out from among them, for his steadfast love endures for ever;12 with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, for his steadfast love endures for ever;13 to him who divided the Red Sea in sunder, for his steadfast love endures for ever;14 and made Israel pass through the midst of it, for his steadfast love endures for ever;15 but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, for his steadfast love endures for ever;16 to him who led his people through the wilderness, for his steadfast love endures for ever;17 to him who smote great kings, for his steadfast love endures for ever;18 and slew famous kings, for his steadfast love endures for ever;19 Sihon, king of the Amorites, for his steadfast love endures for ever;20 and Og, king of Bashan, for his steadfast love endures for ever;21 and gave their land as a heritage, for his steadfast love endures for ever;22 a heritage to Israel his servant, for his steadfast love endures for ever.
23 It is he who remembered us in our low estate, for his steadfast love endures for ever;24 and rescued us from our foes, for his steadfast love endures for ever;25 he who gives food to all flesh, for his steadfast love endures for ever.26 O give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures for ever.
