Psalm 135: God’s Gracious Will Done in Heaven and on Earth

In Psalm 135, the worshipers who have been ascending to the LORD’s house on Zion sing their praises to Him. All of the priests and the servants of the LORD are called upon to praise the LORD as the only true God who accomplishes His will of salvation. His praise sounds forth throughout all creation, even as His people know Him as the true God who delivered them from their enemies. All idols are nothing, and those who worship such idols become like them, but those who fear the LORD as the only true God dwell in eternal life, just as He does.  Rev. James Preus, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Ottumwa, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 135.  To learn more about Trinity Lutheran, visit trinitylutheranottumwa.com. Join Sharper Iron this summer to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: [email protected]
