for his mercy. Ps 103:17 1Ch 16:34 1Ch 16:41 2Ch 20:21 Lu 1:50 Jude 1:21

1 An exhortation to give thanks to God for particular mercies. (Title.)This Psalm is little else than a repetition of the preceding, with the addition of the burden, "for his mercy endureth for ever," at the end of each verse; and it was doubtless composed on the same occasion. It seems evidently to have been a responsive song; the first part of the verse being probably sung by the Levites, and the burden by the people.
