## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
** 

[Psa 136:1](/kjv/psa/136/1) *O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.* 

Ver. 1. **O give thanks unto the Lord** ] This psalm is by the Jews called Hillel gadol, the great gratulatory. See [Psalms 106:1](/kjv/psalms/106/1) ; [Psalms 107:1](/kjv/psalms/107/1) ; [Psalms 118:1](/kjv/psalms/118/1) . 

**** 

**For his mercy endureth for ever** ] His covenant mercy, that precious Church privilege; this is perpetual to his people, and should perpetually shine as a picture in our hearts. For which purpose this psalm was appointed to be daily sung in the old church, by the Levites, [1 Chronicles 16:41](/kjv/1-chronicles/16/41) .
