Praise the name of the Lord

Psalm 135:1-21
Praise the name of the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing to his name, for it is pleasant!
For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.
Your name, O Lord, endures forever, your renown, O Lord, throughout all ages.
For the Lord will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.
Why?
It is worthy to praise the Lord, sing to his name for it is pleasant.
The Lord is the only God in the world, praise the Lord for his is great, his compassion.
This psalm echoes many earlier ones. God is to be praised for choosing Israel, for his greatness and his mighty works.
Let priest and people sing his praise.
How?
Praise the name of the Lord with song, with heart and mind, for his love endures forever
