Psalm 136:1
O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever.
Treasury of Scripture

This Psalm is little else than a repetition of the preceding, with the addition of the burden, for his mercy endureth for ever, at the end of each verse; and it was doubtless composed on the same occasion. It seems evidently to have been a responsive song; the first part of the verse being probably sung by the Levites, and the burden by the people.
