Chapter 135

Ps.135:1. Confess to the Lord that He is good: His mercy endures forever. Ps.135:13. Dividing the Red Sea into divisions. An ancient legend says that the sea was divided by twelve crossings, so that a special path was open to each tribe. Ps.135:16. He led His people in the desert. The miracle of passing through the desert is no less than the miracle of passing through the sea; because in the desert many things threatened death: hunger, heat, thirst, many animals, deprivation of everything necessary. But they walked through the desert, not afraid of anything. God saved them from two powerful kings who were famous for their strength, power, and physical growth. Og, being nine cubits in length and five in breadth, had an iron bed (Deut. 3:11). Ps.135:19. Zion of the king of the Amorites. Not without intention, leaving other kings, he mentioned these mainly, but reminding the people of the God-given victory; because these kings were famous for their strength, power and physical growth. Ps.136:23. For in our humility the Lord will remember us. This speech: “for in our humility we are remembered by the Lord” is most appropriate for those freed from mental or sensory slavery. Ps.136:25. Give food to all flesh. The care of the man-loving God extends not only to pious people, but even to dumb people, because He gives everyone appropriate food. And the prophet extends His providence from miracles in heaven to the smallest creatures on earth. From here again ascend to heaven; why, having said: “all flesh,” he added: Ps.135:26. confess to the God of heaven. God, being the Creator of all things, is primarily called heavenly, because those who live in heaven serve Him; since this area is clean from sin. You might be interested in:
