Salmos 136:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 136:2

O give thanks unto the God of gods

FOOTNOTES:

F18 of the Maker of all things, him you may properly call the God of gods, the Supreme and Best; this title Janus has with them ^F19;

for his mercy [endureth] for ever;
in the preservation of those excellent creatures from apostasy, when many of their species fell; and in the continuance and confirmation of them in the state in which they were created; and in making use of them as ministering spirits to the heirs of salvation; and as a guard about them while they live, and at death to convey their souls to heaven.
