Psalms 135:5

3 Praise the Lord, for ^athe Lord is good;
Sing praises to His name, ^bfor it is pleasant.

4 For ^athe Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His¹ special treasure.

5 For I know that ^athe Lord is great,
And our Lord is above all gods.

6 ^aWhatever the Lord pleases He does,
In heaven and in earth,
In the seas and in all deep places.

7 ^aHe causes the¹ vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
^bHe makes lightning for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His ^ctreasuries.

8 ^aHe¹ destroyed the firstborn of Egypt,
¹Both of man and beast.

9 ^aHe sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt,
^bUpon Pharaoh and all his servants.

Psalms 135:5

The Lord is great - Unlimited in his power: another reason.

Is above all gods - Every class of being, whether idolized or not; because he is the Fountain of existence. This is a fifth reason.
