Psalms 136:15But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea; for his loving kindness endures forever:
The setting
Temple in Jerusalem, Israel. Levites leading antiphonal worship, half the choir singing the deeds, half responding 'his love endures forever'...
The emotion here: triumphant celebration of God's past victories while leading worship
The original word
chesed (חֶסֶד) — covenant loyalty that never breaks, even when undeserved
Why it matters
Pharaoh's chariot wheels have been found preserved in the Red Sea by underwater archaeologists
