Psalm 136

Psalm 136 as translated by Eugene Peterson in The Message.

Thank God! He deserves your thanks.
His love never quits.
Thank the God of all gods,
His love never quits.
Thank the Lord of all lords.
His love never quits.

Thank the miracle working God,
His love never quits.
The God whose skill formed the Cosmos,
His love never quits.
The God who laid out earth on ocean foundations,
His love never quits.
The God who filled the skies with light,
His love never quits.
The sun to watch over the day,
His love never quits.
Moon and stars as guardians of the night,
His love never quits.
The God who struck down the Egyptian firstborn,
His love never quits.
And rescued Israel from Egypts oppression,
His love never quits.
Took Israel in hand with his powerful hand,
His love never quits.
Split the red Sea right in half,
His love never quits.
Led Israel right through the middle,
His love never quits.
Dumped Pharaoh and his army in the sea,
His love never quits.
The God who marched his people through the desert,
His love never quits.
Smashed huge kingdoms right and left,
His love never quits.
Struck down the famous kings,
His love never quits.
Struck Sion the Amorite king,
His love never quits.
Struck Og the Bashanite king,
His love never quits.
Then distributed their lands as booty,
His love never quits.
Handed the land over to Israel,
His love never quits.
God remembered us when we were down,
His love never quits.
Rescued us from the trampling boot,
His love never quits.
Takes care of everyone in time of need.
His love never quits.
Thank God who did it all!
His love never quits.
