Psalm Chapter 135

Psalm 135: Praise the Lord Above All GodsPsalm 135 calls the servants of the Lord to praise him in the house and courts of God, because the Lord is good, his name is pleasant, and he has chosen Jacob and Israel as his treasured possession. It declares the Lord’s greatness and sovereignty over heaven, earth, seas, and deep places, describing his control of vapors, lightning, rain, and wind. The psalm remembers God’s mighty acts in history, including striking Egypt’s firstborn, sending signs and wonders against Pharaoh, defeating great nations and kings such as Sihon and Og, and giving Canaan as an inheritance to Israel. It contrasts the living Lord with powerless idols of silver and gold, warning that those who trust them become like them, and ends by urging Israel, Aaron, Levi, and all who fear the Lord to bless the Lord from Zion in Jerusalem.00:00 Call to Praise00:22 God Chose Israel00:33 Lord Over Creation00:50 Deliverance From Egypt01:01 Victory and Inheritance01:19 Gods Name Endures01:32 Idols Are Powerless01:54 Blessing From Zion00:04 Final Praise
