< Psalms 136 >
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords.
4 He alone does great wonders.
5 By His insight He made the heavens.
6 He spread out the earth upon the waters.
7 He made the great lights—
8 the sun to rule the day,
9 the moon and stars to govern the night.
10 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt
11 and brought Israel out from among them
12 with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.
13 He divided the Red Sea in two
14 and led Israel through the midst,
15 but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea.
16 He led His people through the wilderness.
17 He struck down great kings
18 and slaughtered mighty kings—
19 Sihon king of the Amorites
20 and Og king of Bashan—
21 and He gave their land as an inheritance,
22 a heritage to His servant Israel.
23 He remembered us in our low estate
24 and freed us from our enemies.
25 He gives food to every creature.
26 Give thanks to the God of heaven!
