    3/25/20 Tom Lowe Psalm 136 (KJV) 1O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. 2O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth forever. 3O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. 4To him who alone doeth great wonders: ...read more
