Psa 135 | TSK | STEP | An exhortation to praise God for his mercy; for his power; for his judgments. The vanity of idols. An exhortation to bless God. A.M. 3000. B.C. 1004. (Title.)Bp. Patrick supposes this to be the morning hymn which the precentor called upon the Levites to sing at the opening of the gates of the temple, as the foregoing was sung at the shutting in the evening; but it is more probable that it was composed by Solomon, to be sung at the dedication of the temple. Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name. O ye servants.
