Verse 1 is found in chapter 135 of Psalms. Psalm 135 combines liturgical praise with a strong critique of idolatry. God is worthy of praise because he chose Jacob, acted in Egypt, defeated kings, and gave land to his people. Idols are described as objects unable to speak, see, or breathe, while the Lord acts in heaven, earth, and sea. Historical memory and polemic against idols converge in an invitation to bless the living God.
