Psalms 135

Chapter 135

Not attributed.

Starts off praising the Lord of Jacob.

6 Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. [Psa 135:6 ESV]

A lot of people have trouble with this.  Only because so many cannot accept that God is just and right and infallible in anything that He does.  If you don't accept this part, then you necessarily disagree that God has a right to do what He wants.  Such a position puts you in direct confrontation with Him.  Good one for FB. 


I like these verses, especially the implication that those who worship false gods become like them - blind, deaf, and paralyzed in their own lives:

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands. 16 They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see; ... 18 Those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them. [Psa 135:15-16, 18 ESV]  I have a note in the margin of TCR that Psa 115:4-8 reads almost just like this.  So it is in two places.  We don't know who wrote 115 either.


I still don't see that verses like these apply to the US in 2019.  We don't worship idols as such.  We are indifferent to any god, putting our faith only in ourselves.  Where are the verses that speak to this kind of arrogance?  We make ourselves our own gods.
