Psalms 135:1. Praise ye the LORD.
Or, "Hallelujah." "Hallelujah" is the key-note of it. So this is one of the Hallelujah Psalms, for so it begins; and if you look at the end, you will see that so it closes. There is "Hallelujah" again. The whole Psalm is shut in at the beginning and at the end with this which is both our duty and our delight: "Praise ye the Lord."
Psalms 135:1. Praise ye the name of the LORD;
