Psa 135:1-4

Back to Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible

Back to Psalms.

God to be praised for his mercy. (1-4) For his power and judgments. (5-14) The vanity of idols. (15-21)

1-4 The subject-matter of praise, is the blessings of grace flowing from the everlasting love of God. The name of God as a covenant God and Father in Christ, blessing us with all spiritual blessings in him, is to be loved and praised. The Lord chose a people to himself, that they might be unto him for a name and a praise. If they do not praise him for this distinguishing favour, they are the most unworthy and ungrateful of all people.
