The Greatness of the LORD and the Vanity of Idols

1351 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 135:1

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.
