O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
1 Chronicles 16:34 [KJV]
1 Chronicles 16:34 [KJV]
This verse is a quote from Psalm 106:1 (Psalms 107;118;136). However, this verse is a ceremonial verse that is used a lot at the beginning and end of hymns (Ezra 3:11; Psalm 118:29; Jeremiah 33:11). On the other hand, God's goodness and mercy were not an empty love without
content, but an active love that was concretely manifested through direct intervention in history. In other words, it is because of God's goodness and lovingkindness that Israel was saved from Egypt and settled in the land of Canaan.
