A call to praise and worship God
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant. Ps 135:3
Psalm 135 is a call to praise God. We can simply divide this psalm into 3 parts for easy understanding.
1. God to be praised for his goodness & mercy. (Vs 1-4)
Jacob is another name for the people of Israel. They were God’s treasure and were very precious to God. Such is a demonstration of God’s love for his chosen people.
2. For his power and judgments. (Vs 5-14)
God is the supreme Lord in all creation. He triumphs over Egypt and over kings. He is a faithful & wonder-working God. His name endures forever.
3. The vanity of idols. (Vs 15-21)
Idolatry and worship of false Gods are powerless. It has no life. So are those who worship them. We are to worship a living God. This psalm ends with a call to praise God.
Application:
The call to praise God is to worship Him. Have you ever been found in moments where you don’t feel like praising God for some reasons? We don’t praise God base on how we feel. We praise Him because He is great & mighty. Learn to praise God the way the psalmist did in Ps 135 – tell of the great things of God and what He has done and can do.
