Psalm 135 - 136

The psalmist invites praise to God for His manifold and prolonged blessing. While other gods are made with hands out of elements that are precious, God alone is unique for He is uncreated and the Source of those precious elements. The psalmist then engages in a prolonged statement concerning God's steadfast love - His merciful nature - which is permanent. No matter the situation, regardless of the circumstance, God's mercy endures forever. This statement is repeated over 20 times to remind the reader, the singer, the hearer of God's unfailing and steadfast love.
