Psalm 135 John Brown of Haddington

This psalm contains, (1.) Earnest exhortations to all concerned, to praise the Lord, ver. 1-3, 19-21. (2.) Rich matter for praise God considered as the God of Israel, ver. 4; as the God of gods, ver. 5; as the God of the whole world, ver. 6-7; as a God terrible to the enemies of Israel, ver. 8-11; but kind to Israel, ver. 12-14; and as the only true and living God, before whom all others are but vanity and falsehood, ver. 15-18.

Come near, my soul, and sing what Jehovah is to, and hath done for his church; and what he is to, and hath done for me.

Read or sing this psalm in the Scottish Psalter or the Bay Psalm Book.
