1351 Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord. 2 You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God, 3 Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing. 4 For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 135:1-4
Commentary on Psalm 135:1-4
(Read Psalm 135:1-4)
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.
