Psalms 135:10-12. Who smote great nations, &c. “The victories gained by Israel over Sihon and Og, in their passage to Canaan, and afterward over the idolatrous kings of that country, are further proofs of the same point. For Israel therefore conquered because Jehovah fought for them, and put them in possession of that good land when the iniquity of its old inhabitants was full, and cried to heaven for vengeance.” read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 135:1-21

Psalms 135-136 God’s choice of IsraelTwo hymns for use in Israel’s public worship appear here side by side. The first is a hymn of praise, the second a hymn of thanksgiving. The two hymns are similar in that they both recall God’s loving acts in nature and on behalf of his people Israel. These acts display God’s incomparable greatness on the one hand and show up the uselessness of the gods of the heathen on the other.A call goes out to the worshippers gathered in the temple to praise God... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 135:1-21

Psalms 135This psalm of descriptive praise lauds God for His greatness and for blessing His people. Like Psalms 134, it calls on the priests to praise the Lord."The status of Psalms 135, 136 in relation to the Great Hallel psalms . . . in ancient Judaism is not clear. Some Jewish authorities include Psalms 135, 136 as a part of the collection of Psalms 120-136, whereas others limit the Great Hallel psalms to 135-136, or even to Psalms 136 alone. Like the Songs of Ascents, Psalms 135 is related... read more

God’s sovereignty is also clear from His control over Israel’s history. He sent the plagues on Egypt, even smiting Pharaoh’s first-born. He also defeated many kings and subdued many nations to give Israel the Promised Land. Notable among these kings were Sihon and Og (Numbers 21). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 135:1-21

A Ps. of praise suitable for public worship, beginning and ending with the liturgical Hallelujah. It is full of rich mosaics illustrating Jehovah’s greatness and the vanity of idols. Psalms 134, 135 were sometimes taken as one by the Jews, Psalms 135 being an expansion of 134, with certain elements from Psalms 115.4. Peculiar treasure] see on Exodus 19:5. 7. For the rain] i.e. to produce rain, as it was thought: cp. Zechariah 10:1 RV. Treasuries] storehouses, where, according to ancient belief,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 135:1-21

Psalms 135:1-21LIKE Psalms 97:1-12; Psalms 98:1-9, this is a cento, or piece of mosaic work, apparently intended as a call to worship Jehovah in the Temple. His greatness, as manifested in Nature, and especially in His planting Israel in its inheritance, is set forth as the reason for praise; and the contemptuous contrast of the nothingness of idols is repeated from Psalms 115:1-18, and followed, as there, by an exhortation to Israel to cleave to Him. We have not here to do with a song which... read more

Psalm 135-136 Psalms 135:0 Israel’s Knowledge and Praise of the Lord 1. Knowing and praising His Name (Psalms 135:1-7 ) 2. Deliverances of the past remembered (Psalms 135:8-12 ) 3. His Name endureth forever (Psalms 135:13-21 ) The last song of ascents (134) showed Israel’s praise in the sanctuary. The two Psalms which come next show this worship and praise more fully. This Psalm begins with a hallelujah and ends with a hallelujah. It will be an endless praise. The servants who stand in... read more
