Psalm 136
1. An exhortation to give thanks to God for particular mercies.














and rescued us
The phrase "and rescued us" is a powerful testament to God's active intervention in the lives of His people. The Hebrew root for "rescued" is "נצל" (natsal), which conveys the idea of being snatched away or delivered from danger. This word is often used in the context of God saving His people from physical or spiritual peril. Historically, this reflects the numerous times God delivered Israel from their enemies, such as the Exodus from Egypt. Spiritually, it signifies God's ongoing deliverance of believers from sin and spiritual adversaries. This act of rescue is not just a past event but a continual promise of God's saving power in the lives of His followers.

from our foes
The term "foes" refers to adversaries or enemies, and in the Hebrew text, it is "צָרֵינוּ" (tsareinu). This word encompasses not only physical enemies but also spiritual and moral adversaries. In the historical context of Israel, this included nations and peoples who opposed them, such as the Philistines, Babylonians, and others. For Christians, this can be understood as the spiritual battles faced against sin, temptation, and the forces of evil. The assurance that God rescues us from our foes is a reminder of His protective nature and His commitment to safeguarding His people against all forms of opposition.

His loving devotion
The phrase "His loving devotion" is translated from the Hebrew word "חֶסֶד" (chesed), which is a rich and multifaceted term. It encompasses love, mercy, kindness, and covenant faithfulness. Chesed is a central theme in the Old Testament, reflecting God's steadfast love and loyalty to His covenant people. It is not merely an emotional feeling but an active, enduring commitment to the well-being of His people. This loving devotion is the foundation of God's relationship with humanity, demonstrating His unwavering commitment to His promises and His people.

endures forever
The phrase "endures forever" is a declaration of the eternal nature of God's chesed. The Hebrew word "עוֹלָם" (olam) is used here, signifying perpetuity and timelessness. This assurance of God's eternal loving devotion is a cornerstone of faith, providing believers with confidence in God's unchanging nature. Throughout history, God's faithfulness has been evident, and this promise extends into eternity. It is a reminder that God's love and mercy are not limited by time or circumstance, offering hope and assurance to all generations. This eternal perspective encourages believers to trust in God's everlasting covenant and His unending commitment to His people.

(24) Redeemed.--Better, as in original, snatched us from. (Comp. Psalm 7:2, used of a lion suddenly seizing his prey.)

Verse 24. - And hath redeemed us from our enemies; rather, and redeemed us - or, "snatched us" - from our enemies. For his mercy, etc.
