Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 135:5-14

The psalmist had suggested to us the goodness of God, as the proper matter of our cheerful praises; here he suggests to us the greatness of God as the proper matter of our awful praises; and on this he is most copious, because this we are less forward to consider. I. He asserts the doctrine of God's greatness (Ps. 135:5): The Lord is great, great indeed, who knows no limits of time or place. He asserts it with assurance, ?I know that he is so; know it not only by observation of the proofs of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 135:6

Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he ,.... In creation, producing into being what creatures he thought fit; in providence, doing according to his will in heaven and in earth; in grace, predestinating men to grace and glory, according to the good pleasure of his will, and calling by his grace whom he pleased: so Christ quickens whom he will; and the Spirit dispenses his gifts and grace severally to men as he pleases. Sovereignty, or acting according to will and pleasure, is peculiar to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 135:6

Whatsoever the Lord pleased - All that he has done is right, and therefore it is pleasing in his sight. He is the author of all existence. Angels, men, spirits, the heavens, the earth, and all their contents, were made by him, and are under his control. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 135:6

Verse 6 6.Whatsoever doth please him, etc. This is that immeasurable greatness of the divine being, of which he had just spoken. He not only founded heaven and earth at first, but governs all things according to his power. To own that God made the world, but maintain that he sits idle in heaven, and takes no concern in the management of it, is to cast an impious aspersion upon his power; and yet the idea, absurd as it is, obtains wide currency amongst men. They would not say, perhaps, in so... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 135:1-21

1. His mercies to Israel ( Psalms 135:4 , Psalms 135:14 ). 2. His greatness in nature ( Psalms 135:5-7 ) and in history ( Psalms 135:8-12 ). 3. His infinite superiority to idols ( Psalms 135:15-18 ). Metrically divided into three stanzas of seven verses each ( Psalms 135:1-7 ; 8-14; and 15-21). A "Hallelujah psalm" ( Psalms 135:1 , Psalms 135:21 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 135:1-21

Reasons for the worship and service of God. The psalm suggests to us— I. TWO REASONS FOR PRAISING GOD . ( Psalms 135:1-4 .) 1. God is worthy of our utmost reverence. "The Lord is good." The truth is too familiar to us to strike us; but if we contrast the character of the God whom we worship with that of the deities of heathen lands (see Psalms 135:15-18 ), we see and feel how great is our privilege, how excellent a thing it is to pay reverent homage to One who is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 135:1-21

The march of mercy. This psalm traces the progress of God's mercy to his people from its source in the Divine nature on to its complete fulfillment in their loving, glad allegiance, the expression of which begins and ends the psalm. I. IT BEGINS IN THE INHERENT NATURE OF GOD HIMSELF . ( Psalms 135:3 .) "The Lord is good." From this proceeds all the rest, and in this all that follows finds its explanation. That "God is love" is, after all, the key which fits the... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 135:1-21

God's praises. "An exhortation to the priests and Levites who wait in the sanctuary to praise Jehovah, both because of his goodness in choosing Israel to be his people, and because of his greatness, and the almighty power which he has shown, in his dominion over the world of nature, and in the overthrow of all the enemies of his people. Then his abiding majesty is contrasted with the nothingness of the idols of the heathen." I. THE GENERAL GROUNDS OF THE PRAISE OF GOD .... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 135:6

Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he (comp. Psalms 115:3 ). God's power is only limited by his own attributes of truth and goodness. He cannot contradict his own reason, or his own moral qualities. Otherwise he can do anything and everything. In heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. This is intended as a complete division of space: read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 135:6

God's power can carry out God's will. "All that Jehovah willeth he hath done." Observe the contrast with idols. If it were conceivable that they had the power to will , it is manifest that they have not the power to carry out , or execute, their will. Observe the contrast with men. They, undoubtedly, have the power to will, but the inability to perform oppresses them continually. "I would, but cannot," is the constant cry of man's feebleness. But a limitation on God's power to... read more
