PSALM 136 Mercy and Loving Kindness Songtext
von Jessi Colter

O give thanks unto the Lord
For the Lord is good
And his lovingkindness
Endureth for ever.

O give thanks unto the God of gods:
For his lovingkindness
Endureth for ever.

To him alone doeth great wonders:
His lovingkindness
Endureth for ever.

To him that by wisdom made the heavens:
For his lovingkindness
Endureth for ever.

To him that stretched the earth above the waters:
And lovingkindness
Endureth for ever.

To him that made great lights:
His lovingkindness
Endureth for ever:


The sun to rule by day:
His lovingkindness
Endureth for ever:

The moon and stars to rule by night:
For his lovingkindness
Endureth for ever.

To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn:
For his lovingkindness
Endureth for ever:

And brought out Israel from among them:
For his lovingkindness
Endureth for ever:

With a strong hand, and a stretched out arm
To him which divided the Red sea into parts
And made Israel to pass through the midst of it:
For his lovingkindness
Endureth for ever:

But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea:
For his lovingkindness
Endureth for ever.


To him which led his people through the wilderness:
For his lovingkindness
Endureth for ever.

To him which smote great kings
And slew famous kings
And gave their land for an heritage:
For his lovingkindness
Endureth for ever:

Even an heritage unto Israel his servant:
His lovingkindness endureth for ever.

Who remembered us in our low estate
And hath redeemed us from our enemies:
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

Who giveth food to all flesh:
His lovingkindness
Endureth for ever.

O give thanks to the God of heaven, give thanks to the God of heaven:
For his kindness
Endureth for ever.
