FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER..........PSALM 136

           "Oh, give thanks to the Lords, 
                for He is good!
              For His mercy endures forever.
         Oh give thanks to the God of gods!
             For His mercy  endures  forever.
         Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!
             For His mercy  endures  forever.  
                     nkjv            Psalm 136: 1-3

In the King James Version, the last line in each
verse (stanza), reads "and His mercy endureth..."

   In this Psalm, "for His mercy endures forever,"
occurs  to close  each verse, stanza.  An  outline
might look like this:
     The Lord God is Sovereign over all who would
be  gods...vs. 1-3  The Lord God created it all and He alone is God.
  
     The Lord God  has  fought on the side of  His people  Israel, delivers them  from their enemies,
protects them in the land he has given them for a
homeland, and will provide for them there. vs.10-24.  I am pleased and grateful for the privilege of being a citizen of the only nation in history to side
with Israel in every conflict. We are on the side of the Lord God, Jehovah!!! 

   The Lord God, Jehovah, provides for all flesh, give Him thanks.  For His mercy endures forever,
vs. 25-26...
      Without respect to ethnicity, nationality or any other barrier  we might choose to insert, that his mercy, grace and care are available  to all..  His mercy, however;  is contingent on the recipient's response  to His  Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and His sacrifice for their/our sin.  

  "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.
Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."
                                                   Romans 3: 23-24
