Psalm 136:1-3 Part 2 of 3

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
    His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
    His faithful love endures forever.
Give thanks to the LORD of lords.
    His faithful love endures forever.  
     
Give thanks to the God of gods. His faithful love endures forever.
Deuteronomy 10:17
    "For the LORD your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed."  (see all Deuteronomy 10)
2 Chronicles 5:11-14  
    Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were present had purified themselves, whether or not they were on duty that day. And the Levites who were musicians--Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and all their sons and brothers--were dressed in fine linen robes and stood at the east side of the altar playing cymbals, lyres and harps. They were joined by 120 priests who were playing trumpets. The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the LORD with these words:
     "He is good!
            His faithful love endures forever!"
    At that moment a thick cloud filled the Temple of the LORD. The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the LORD filled the Temple of God.  (see all 2 Chronicles 5)
2 Chronicles 7:1-3  
    When Solomon finished praying, fire flashed down from heaven and burned up the burnt offerings and sacrifices, and the glorious presence of the LORD filled the Temple. The priests could not enter the Temple of the LORD because the glorious presence of the LORD filled it. When all the people of Israel saw the fire coming down and the glorious presence of the LORD filling the Temple, they fell down on the ground and worshiped and praised the LORD, saying,
    "He is good!
        His faithful love endures forever!"  (see all 2 Chronicles 7)
