Psalms 136:21-26

136:21 and gave their land as an inheritance,

for his loyal love endures,

136:22 as an inheritance to Israel his servant,

for his loyal love endures,

136:23 to the one who remembered us when we were down, ¹ 

for his loyal love endures,

136:24 and snatched us away from our enemies,

for his loyal love endures,

136:25 to the one who gives food to all living things, ² 

for his loyal love endures.

136:26 Give thanks to the God of heaven,

for his loyal love endures!

[136:23]  ¹ tn Heb “who, in our low condition, remembered us.”

[136:25]  ² tn Heb “to all flesh,” which can refer to all people (see Pss 65:2; 145:21) or more broadly to mankind and animals. Elsewhere the psalms view God as the provider for all living things (see Pss 104:27-28; 145:15).
