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

For I know - I, as the representative of Israel, and speaking in the, name of the people. This is said as the foundation or the reason for praise. It was the thorough conviction of the psalmist that God was great above all who were claimed to be gods, and that he only was worthy of worship.

That the Lord is great - See the notes at Psalms 95:3.

And that our Lord is above all gods - All that are worshipped as gods.
