Psalm 136

Summary: For a great many acts (including making the world, providing for each need, and the entire Exodus and Israelite settlement stories), the psalmist proclaims that God's love endures forever.

Response: I can see how Chris Tomlin could easily write a song from this. And yet, there's something in the structure here. The psalm seems to last forever, as if to illustrate the point. Like, God's been here through all of that. He didn't get too old or hurt or even bored to quit, and He won't quit on you.
