Commentary
Psalm 135 is a hymn of praise that celebrates the sovereign majesty and benevolent mercy of God. The psalmist reminds us that the LORD is not just any deity, but the true and living God who reveals Himself in His word and works. He is the God who made heaven and earth, who chooses His people and saves them from their enemies, and who reigns forever and ever. Therefore, He deserves to be exalted, honored, and worshipped by all the nations and peoples of the earth. The psalmist calls us to join in the chorus of praise and to give thanks to the LORD for His goodness and everlasting love. As we contemplate the greatness of God, our hearts should overflow with awe, wonder, and joy, and our mouths should proclaim His glory and magnify His name. Let us be like the psalmist and say, "Praise the LORD!"
