O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.
The verse is a call to the returned exiles to give thanks to the God of heaven because His mercy lasts forever. The God of heaven named here is the Mighty Leader who remembered His people in their low estate and redeemed them from their enemies. His enduring mercy and merciful care, which lasts forever, is the reason given for their praise.
