The Kathismata for today, Friday, include Psalm 135 (or 136, according to Masoretic numbering):
It has occurred to me that its twenty-seven repetitions of the the phrase, "for his mercy endureth for ever" are an excellent example of what Christ did not mean when he condemned "vain repetitions" in prayer (Matthew 6:7).
Good point.
