135:1-4 This Psalm is a reminder (if needed) to include praise in our daily life. Not only does God deserve our praise, it it helpful to us to remember Him, to acknowledge Him and to be grateful for His presence and character. For God's character is good. He has chosen truth and righteousness, love and compassion.
135:5-7 He is above all other power and creation in our lives. He is the force we need to recognize when navigating our path in life. He has chosen the current of life and we are wise to submit to it.
135:8-12 He has been present and active on the earth since our beginning. It is wise for us to consider how He has moved and changed the course of humanity.
135:13-14 Our God is solid and forever. His compassion is comprehensive. For what better purpose could we praise?
135:15-18 The word has determined a new code for itself: the value of possession and power and money. But that way is destruction and void. We have chosen God. We have chosen the code of justice, righteousness and compassion. Humility. Perhaps much of the world is blind to the purpose of life, the heart of life, but God instructs His children in the truth. We trust Him because He has been trustworthy.
135:19-21 So we praise Him. Praise the Lord.
