Psalm 136 is a part of P'sukei D'zimra os Shabbat and Holidays, and also of the Haggadah. It can be sung as a one-verse chant, or you can lead the full psalm as a call and response. We return to the refrain after every four lines.

הודוּ ליהוה כִּי טוב - כִּי לְעולָם חַסְדּו:
הודוּ לֵאלהֵי הָאֱלהִים - כִּי לְעולָם חַסְדּו:
הודוּ לַאדני הָאֲדנִים - כִּי לְעולָם חַסְדּו:
לְעשה נִפְלָאות גְּדלות לְבַדּו - כִּי לְעולָם חַסְדּו:
Praise God, who is good
- whose steadfast love is eternal.
Praise the God of gods
- whose steadfast love is eternal.
Praise the Sovereign of sovereigns
- whose steadfast love is eternal;
Who alone works great marvels
- whose steadfast love is eternal;
Hodu L'Adonai ki tov ki le'olam chasdo.
