The Lord Will

Psalm 136:2

“O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 136

Meaning

The title intensifies the opening praise without displacing the psalm’s emphasis on enduring mercy.

Read carefully

The verse directs Israel’s worship to God; it does not cancel the dignity of other people.

Reflection

Let worship relativize every lesser loyalty without dehumanizing people who believe differently.
