O give thanks to the Lord of lords – The Lord or Ruler of all in authority – all kings, princes, rulers. He is supreme over all. This is an attribute of Divinity; yet this is ascribed to the Lord Jesus, thus proving that he is divine. See the notes at Rev 19:16.
For his mercy … – The ground of praise here, as in the previous verse, is, that this God – the Supreme Ruler over all the potentates and magistrates of earth – is a merciful Being. He is kind and benignant toward those rulers, and through them to mankind.

Ps 89:27;
for his mercy [endureth] for ever; in putting it into the hearts of kings and princes, which he has in his hands, to show favour to his people, even to be their nursing fathers; and in curbing the power, restraining the wrath, of oppressors; and protecting his people from their rage and violence.
