Psalms 136:2

“O give thanks unto the God of gods, etc.] Not only of the gods of the Gentiles, who are by name and not by nature gods; or of civil magistrates, who are so called, and seem to be designed in the next verse; but the angels, as Aben Ezra and Kimchi. Christ, our Immanuel, is the God of them, the object of their worship and adoration, being their Creator and Preserver, (<199707>Psalm 97:7 <580106>Hebrews 1:6,7). So the Heathens sayf1813 of the Maker of all things, him you may properly call the God of gods, the Supreme and Best; this title Janus has with themf1814; for his mercy [endureth] for ever; in the preservation of those excellent creatures from apostasy, when many of their species fell;…”

“O give thanks unto the God of gods - See Deuteronomy 10:17. The supreme God; the God superior to all that is called God, or that is adored by the nations of the earth; above all to whom the name God is ever applied. For his mercy... - The ground of praise here is, that it is a characteristic of the supreme God that he is a merciful Being; that there is blended in his character eternal mercy with infinite power. Mere power might fill us with dread; power mingled with mercy, and able to carry out the purposes of mercy, must lay the foundation for praise. return to 'Top of Page'”
