Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.
Psalm 135:1 is a summons to those who serve the Lord to offer praise to the Lord and to lift up his name in honor. It stands among devotional readings that largely magnify Jehovah for enduring loving-kindness and tender mercy. It voices the theme that runs through David's psalms, praise to God for his goodness and mercy.
The call is carried forward in the verses that follow to those who minister in God's house. There the Lord is praised as good and as pleasant to praise. He is further praised as greater than all gods.
