1351 Praise Yah!
Praise the name of Yahweh!
Praise him, you servants of Yahweh, 2 you who stand in the house of Yahweh,
in the courts of our God’s house. 3 Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good.
Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant. 4 For Yah has chosen Jacob for 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.
