Psalms 135 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
We have first the exhortation to praise The LORD as the Sovereign Lord and Disposer of all, and who has been pleased in this way to take up Jacob for Himself. The Psalmist then recalls God;s ways as the Deliverer of His people in Egypt, and right on into the land. The smiting of the first-born was the blow that struck off their shackles from them; though part only of a succession of signs and wonders in which God had displayed Himself for their deliverance.

Here again, and in language which is almost identical with that of the 115th Psalm, the rebuke of the senseless idolatry which degraded its followers to its own level. Israel is exhorted to go on with their own covenant-God, alone worthy of all blessing and praise, and now with them in His fixed abode in Zion.
