Introduction
An exhortation to praise God for his goodness and greatness, Psalm 135:1-5 ; for his wonders in nature, Psalm 135:6 , Psalm 135:7 ; his wonders done in Egypt, Psalm 135:8 , Psalm 135:9 ; in the wilderness, Psalm 135:10-12 ; for his goodness to his people, Psalm 135:13 , Psalm 135:14 . The vanity of idols, Psalm 135:15-18 . Israel, with its priests and Levites, exhorted to praise the Lord, Psalm 135:19-21 .
This Psalm is intimately connected with the preceding. It is an exhortation addressed to the priests and Levites, and to all Israel, to publish the praises of the Lord. The conclusion of this Psalm is nearly the same with Psalm 115; and what is said about idols, and the effects of the power of God, seems to be taken from it and the tenth chapter of Jeremiah; and from these and other circumstances it appears the Psalm was written after the captivity; and might as Calmet conjectures, have been used at the dedication of the second temple.
