    for His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords,
    for His mercy endures forever:

to Him who alone does great wonders,
    for His mercy endures forever;
to Him who by wisdom made the heavens,
    for His mercy endures forever;
to Him who stretched out the earth above the waters,
    for His mercy endures forever;
to Him who made the great heavenly lights,
    for His mercy endures forever;
the sun to rule over the day,
    for His mercy endures forever;
the moon and stars to rule over the night,
    for His mercy endures forever;

10 to Him who struck down in Egypt their firstborn,
    for His mercy endures forever;
11 and brought out Israel from among them,
    for His mercy endures forever;
12 with a strong hand and a stretched-out arm,
    for His mercy endures forever;

13 to Him who divided the Red Sea into two,
    for His mercy endures forever;
14 and made Israel to pass through the midst of it,
    for His mercy endures forever;
15 but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea,
    for His mercy endures forever;

16 to Him who led His people through the wilderness,
    for His mercy endures forever;

17 to Him who struck down great kings,
    for His mercy endures forever;
18 and slew mighty kings,
    for His mercy endures forever;
19 Sihon king of the Amorites,
    for His mercy endures forever;
20 and Og king of Bashan,
    for His mercy endures forever;
21 and gave their land for a possession,
    for His mercy endures forever;
22 even an inheritance to Israel His servant,
    for His mercy endures forever.

23 Who remembered us in our low place,
    for His mercy endures forever;
24 and has redeemed us from our enemies,
    for His mercy endures forever;
25 who gives food to all people,
    for His mercy endures forever.

26 Give thanks unto the God of heaven,
    for His mercy endures forever.
