God's mercy is an awesome attribute that He has.  Psalm 136 shows us many aspects of His mercy toward humanity. Each verse makes a statement, and that statement is reinforced by the refrain, "His mercy endures forever". There is much we can learn from this Psalm, not only from the history of Israel, but also how we can appreciate God's mercy in our lives. We truly have much to give God thanks for.
