Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for’ introduces the explanatory clause le-olam chasdo {לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ | lə-‘ô-lâm ḥa-sə-ḏô} ‘forever his steadfast love’, serving as the theological reason for thanksgiving. The Hebrew word order preserves the sequence of accompaniment, selection, purpose, and causal explanation.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:41
And with them were Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen who were designated by name to give thanks to the LORD , for His steadfast love endures forever.
