Footnotes
- Psalm 136:21 God was with his servant Israel during the Conquest of the Promised Land, which became their heritage (see Ps 135:12), as well as from that time till the present. The Lord’s remembrance is based on the covenant and is intended to effectively bring out the complete redemption of his afflicted people (see Ex 6:5).
