PSALM 135

. 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.

**1-3.** In the general call for
praise, the priests, *that stand in the house of the Lord,* are
specially mentioned.

**4-7.** God's choice of Israel is
the first reason assigned for rendering praise; the next, His
manifested greatness in creation and providence.

**6. heaven, and . . . seas, and all .
. . ends of the earth**—denote universality.

**4-7.** God's choice of Israel is
the first reason assigned for rendering praise; the next, His
manifested greatness in creation and providence.

**8, 9.** The last plague [] is cited to illustrate His "tokens and wonders."

**10-12.** The conquest of Canaan
was by God's power, not that of the people.

**13. heritage**—or, "possession."
**name . . . memorial**—Each
denote that by which God is made known.

**14. will judge**—do justice ().
**repent himself**—change
His dealings ([Psalms 90:13](../../../kjv/psalms/90/13)).

**15-18.** (Compare ).

**18. are like unto them**—or,
"shall be like," &c. Idolaters become spiritually
stupid and perish with their idols ().

**19-21.** (Compare ). There we have "trust" for "bless"
here.

**21. out of Zion**—(Compare
[Psalms 110:2](../../../kjv/psalms/110/2); [Psalms 134:3](../../../kjv/psalms/134/3)).
From the Church, as a center, His praise is diffused throughout the
earth.
