1351 Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah, 2 Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God. 3 Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant. 4 For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
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.
