Psalms 136 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
This is a song of the age-abiding mercy of The LORD. It opens and closes with a call to praise, and in its main movements sets forth the reason for such praise.Be it creation; be it redemption; judgment on their enemies,or mercy to themselves, this seal is set upon all His work, that God's loving-kindness has been working in it. And indeed in all His acts all that He is must act: if He be good, as God is, He must be good in everything He does.

The reasons for praise are found in the manifestations of His power and interest in His people. His power as seen in creation is first sung (1~9). Then His delivering power manifest behalf of His people (10~15). This naturally merges into the song of His guidance and government of them, as He brought them into possession (16~22). And finally His goodness in restoring His people after declension and wandering (23~25). The dominant note is mercy as manifest in all the activities of God.
