The power and supremacy of the Lord is graphically depicted in contrast form in Psalm 135. “The Lord is good…the Lord is great…our Lord is above all gods. Whatever the Lord pleases He does…He causes the vapors…He makes lightning…He brings the wind…He destroyed the firstborn…He sent signs and wonders…He defeated many nations…and gave their land.”
Now, the contrast. “The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; They have ears, but they do not hear; Nor is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them” (135:15-18).
Now, which one would you want to worship? When you read Psalm 135, it’s not even close (and it shouldn’t be!). That’s why the Psalm ends by saying, “Bless the Lord!…Bless the Lord!…Bless the Lord!…Blessed be the Lord!…Praise the Lord!” Is that your response?
