Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Oh give thanks unto the God of gods;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Oh give thanks unto the Lord of lords;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him who alone doeth great wonders;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that by understanding made the heavens;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that spread forth the earth above the waters;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that made great lights;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
The sun to rule by day;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
The moon and stars to rule by night;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that smote Egypt in their first-born;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
And brought out Israel from among them;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that divided the Red Sea in sunder;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
And made Israel to pass through the midst of it;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
But {Hebrew: shook off.}overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that led his people through the wilderness;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
To him that smote great kings;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
And slew famous kings;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
Sihon king of the Amorites;
For his lovingkindness endureth forever;
And Og king of Bashan;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
And gave their land for a heritage;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
Even a heritage unto Israel his servant;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
Who remembered us in our low estate;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
And hath delivered us from our adversaries;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever:
Who giveth food to all flesh;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Oh give thanks unto the God of heaven;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
Querverweise zu Psalm 136,24 Ps 136,24
Thou in thy lovingkindness hast led the people that thou hast redeemed:Thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to-day.
Remove not the ancient landmark;And enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
For their Redeemer is strong;He will plead their cause against thee.
{Another reading is, In all their adversity he was no adversary}In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,
And hath raised up a horn of salvation for usIn the house of his servant David
(As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old),
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
To show mercy towards our fathers,And to remember his holy covenant;
The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father,
To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemiesShould serve him without fear,
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
