What does Psalms 136:12 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Psalms 136:10-22
The great things God did for Israel, when he brought them out of Egypt, were mercies which endured long to them; and our redemption by Christ, which was typified thereby, endures for ever. It is good to enter into the history of God's favours, and in each to observe, and own, that his mercy endureth for ever. He put them in possession of a good land; it was a figure of the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.
