Psalms 136 YLT
Summary: Known as the "Great Hallel," this psalm is built on an antiphonal structure in which every one of its 26 verses is answered by the same refrain, "for his mercy endureth for ever," likely sung responsively by a worship leader and congregation. It surveys creation ("to him that stretched out the earth above the waters," v. 6) and then the exodus and conquest in detail — the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, the defeat of Sihon and Og — treating each act of divine power as another occasion for the same unbroken refrain. It closes praising God who "remembered us in our low estate" and "giveth food to all flesh" (v. 23, 25).
