Psalms Chapter 135

Psalms 135:1

psa 135:1

A Psalm of praise, in which God's relations to His Church, His power in the natural world, and in delivering His people, are contrasted with the vanity of idols and idol-worship. (Psa. 135:1-21)

In the general call for praise, the priests, that stand in the house of the Lord, are specially mentioned.

Psalms 135:4

psa 135:4

God's choice of Israel is the first reason assigned for rendering praise; the next, His manifested greatness in creation and providence.

The last plague [Exo 12:29] is cited to illustrate His "tokens and wonders."

The conquest of Canaan was by God's power, not that of the people.

heritage--or, "possession."

name . . . memorial--Each denote that by which God is made known.

(Compare Psa 115:4-8).

out of Zion--(Compare Psa 110:2; Psa 134:3). From the Church, as a center, His praise is diffused throughout the earth.
