Psalms 136:26
Give thanks to the God of heaven! His loving devotion endures forever.
BSB
ASV
Oh give thanks unto the God of heaven; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
KJV
O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.
O give thanks unto the God of heaven. The title is full of honour. The Lord is God in the highest realms, and among celestial beings. His throne is set in glory, above all, out of reach of foes, in the place of universal oversight. He who feeds ravens and sparrows is yet the glorious God of the highest realms. Angels count it their glory to proclaim his glory in every heavenly street. See herein the greatness of his nature, the depth of his condescension, and the range of his love.

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
All the peoples of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does as He pleases with the army of heaven and the peoples of the earth. There is no one who can restrain…
I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,
The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.

Psalms 123:1I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
leads to
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will free my feet from the mesh.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
