Psalm 136:1

New International Version

¹Give thanks^(A) to the Lord, for he is good.^(B)
His love endures forever.^(C)

Psalm 136:1

Amplified Bible

136 ^[a]Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness (graciousness, mercy, compassion) endures forever.

Psalm 136:1 The ancient rabbis said that the twenty-six verses of this Psalm correspond to the twenty-six generations from Adam to Moses. They maintained that since these generations were not given the Torah (Law), they could not earn merit and were sustained only by God’s “lovingkindness.”

136 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

¹^(A) Praise the Lord! He is good.
God's love never fails.

New International Version (NIV)
