Psalms 136:15

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever. This is the deep bass of the hymn, he “overthrew Pharaoh.” “The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.” We cannot give up that verse; we cannot refuse to sing the song of Moses; we must praise and bless God for all that he did at the Red Sea, even though...

To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.

And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever: and Og the king of Bashan for his mercy endureth for ever.’ Here are four verses where we think that one might have sufficed.

Psalms 136:21-22

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever: even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever: Can you not sing this tonight?

From our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever. God is the great Feeder of the world. What a commissariat is that of the universe!
