Psalms 135:10-12

10 1He 2smote many nations And slew mighty kings,
11 3Sihon, king of the Amorites, And 4Og, king of Bashan, And 5all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 And He 6gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people.

Psalms 135:10-12 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.
