Psalms 106:1

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] forever." — Psalms 106:1 (ASV)

Praise ye the Lord - Margin, “Hallelu-jah.” The two Hebrew words mean, “praise you the Lord.” They are the same words with which the previous psalm closes, and are here designed to indicate the general duty illustrated in the psalm.

O give thanks unto the Lord - See the notes at Psalms 105:1.

For he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever - See Psalms 100:5, note; and Psalms 107:1, note; where the language in the Hebrew is the same.
