Psalm 136
1. An exhortation to give thanks to God for particular mercies.














and Og king of Bashan
The mention of "Og king of Bashan" refers to a significant historical figure in the Old Testament. Og was one of the last of the Rephaim, a group of ancient giants, and his kingdom was located in the region of Bashan, east of the Jordan River. The Hebrew root for "Og" (עוֹג) is not entirely clear, but it is often associated with strength and might, reflecting his formidable presence. Bashan was known for its fertile land and strong cities, making Og a powerful adversary. The defeat of Og by the Israelites, as recorded in Numbers 21:33-35 and Deuteronomy 3:1-11, symbolizes God's power to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This victory was a testament to God's faithfulness and His commitment to fulfilling His promises to Israel.

His loving devotion endures forever
This phrase is a recurring refrain throughout Psalm 136, emphasizing the steadfast and eternal nature of God's "loving devotion," or "chesed" (חֶסֶד) in Hebrew. "Chesed" is a rich and multifaceted term that encompasses love, mercy, kindness, and covenant faithfulness. It is a central theme in the Old Testament, highlighting God's unwavering commitment to His people despite their failures and shortcomings. The repetition of this phrase in the psalm serves as a reminder of God's unchanging character and His enduring love for His creation. In the context of Og's defeat, it underscores that God's acts of deliverance and protection are not isolated events but are part of His ongoing relationship with His people. This assurance of God's perpetual loving devotion provides comfort and hope, encouraging believers to trust in His promises and remain faithful in their walk with Him.

Verse 20. - And Og the King of Bashan (Numbers 21:33; Psalm 135:11). For his mercy, etc.
