Psalms 136
The passage praises God for his eternal mercy, citing his creation of the heavens, earth, and celestial bodies, as well as his deliverance of Israel from Egypt and his provision for them in the wilderness. It also recalls God's victories over powerful kings, including Sihon and Og, and his granting of their land to Israel as an inheritance. The passage concludes by acknowledging God's ongoing provision for all living things and his redemption of his people from their enemies.
