Psalms 136:4

To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him alone belongs the doing of great wonders, and his mercy lasts forever. Israel took up these words as praise to him for his mighty acts in creation, in the exodus from bondage, in the wilderness journey, in victories over kings, and in the return of the exiles. Those deeds displayed his enduring mercy in remembering his people in their low estate. They displayed it also in delivering them from their enemies.
