Psalms 135:1-21

Praise ye the Lord.

The sublime object of worship

I. In His absolute goodness (Psalms 135:1). He is “good”--essentially, eternally, infinitely, immutably.

II. In His relative kindness (verse 4). Britain is more favoured than ever Palestine was. It is the land of liberty, Bibles, churches, etc.

III. In His transcendent supremacy (verse 5). He is King of all kings, and Lord of all lords.

IV. In His sovereign operations (Psalms 135:6).

1. In material nature (verses 6, 7).

2. In human history (Psalms 135:8).

V. In His endless existence (verses 13, 14).

1. His character is everlasting.

2. His remembrance is everlasting.

3. His kindness is everlasting.

VI. In His unapproachable greatness (Psalms 135:15). Idols, what are they to Him? What are the highest objects of the earth to Him? Conclusion--Do not the aspects in which the author of this ode presents Jehovah manifest His supreme claim to the hallelujah of all souls? (Homilist.)
