[Psalms 135](/study/psalms/135) [Psalms 137](/study/psalms/137) ## Commentary To verse 1 [Psalms 136:0](/kjv/psalms/136/0). *An exhortation to give thanks to God for particular mercies.* THIS psalm, like the former, is a commemoration of the wonderful things which God had done for the Jews. Bishop Patrick supposes it to have been intended for the use of their solemn festivals; as it was called by the Jews, הגדול הלל *hallel haggadol, the great thanksgiving.*He observes upon the frequent repetition of the half verse, that this was done to make them more sensible that they owed all they had to the divine bounty; to excite them to depend entirely upon that bounty, and to rest assured that it would never fail them, if they piously and sincerely acknowledged it. This form of acknowledgment, *for his mercy,*&c. was prescribed by David to be used continually in the divine service, 1Ch 16:41 followed by Solomon, 2Ch 3:6 and observed by Jehoshaphat, [2 Chronicles 20:21](/kjv/2-chronicles/20/21).
