recalling - his steadfast love endures forever




























Psalm 136 
recalling - his steadfast love endures forever (His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever) or ("for his mercy endureth for ever.")
This is repeated 26 times, (Commentary below is helpful)
"This most excellent sentence, that God's mercy endureth for ever, is magnified above all the truths concerning God,"

Psalm 136
136:1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.


136:1
O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever.
136:2
Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever.
136:2
O give thanks to the God of gods, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever.
136:3
Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever;
136:3
O give thanks to the Lord of lords, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever--
136:4
to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures forever;(ESV)
136:4
To Him Who alone does great wonders, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever;(Amplified)



"The scope of this psalm is the same with that of the Psalms 135:1-21, but there is something very singular in the composition of it; for the latter half of each verse is the same, repeated throughout the psalm, "for his mercy endureth for ever," and yet no vain repetitionIt is allowed that such burdens, or "keepings," as we call them, add very much to the beauty of a song, and help to make it moving and affecting; nor can any verse contain more weighty matter, or more worthy to be thus repeated, than thisthat God's mercy endureth for ever; and the repetition of it here twenty-six times intimates (MHC)


And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19 ESV)










Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! (Luke 12:24 ESV)




























Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through the trial and the change
One thing remains
One thing remains

Your love never fails it never gives up it never runs out on mel ]
On and one and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never ever have to be afraid
One thing remains


In death and in life I'm confident and covered by the power of your great love
My debt is paid there's nothing that can separate my heart from your great love
