Psalms 135:1-10

1 Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

2 You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,

3 Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.

4 For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.

5 I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.

6 The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.

7 He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.

8 He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.

9 He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

10 He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;

Psalms 135:1-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 135

This psalm was written very probably by the same hand as the former. It begins in much the same manner; it has some likeness with Psalm 113 and 114. It begins and ends with "hallelujah"; and is throughout an exhortation of praise to God, on account of his name, nature, and perfections; and because of his works of creation, providence, and grace, many of which are enumerated. The Syriac interpreter says, there is an intimation in it of the conversion of the people of the Messiah unto the faith.
