Psalms 135
[Psalms 135:1] PRAISE YE THE LORD. PRAISE YE THE NAME OF THE LORD; PRAISE HIM, O YE  SERVANTS OF THE LORD.                     
 
[Psalms 135:2] YE THAT STAND IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, IN THE COURTS OF THE HOUSE OF OUR GOD. 
People that learn the Bible, that identify with Ancient Israel, that acknowledge the Almighty in a spiritual sense are as if they stand in the Temple which in effect consisted of two enclosed courtyards, a sanctuary, an outside altar, and appurtenances, and numerous chambers built into the surrounding walls.                    
 
[Psalms 135:3] PRAISE THE LORD; FOR THE LORD IS GOOD: SING PRAISES UNTO HIS NAME; FOR  IT IS PLEASANT.  
It is good to worship the Almighty. It is not only our obligation, something we must do but also it is sweet and pleasing and beneficial to us and to others.                  
 
[Psalms 135:4] FOR THE LORD HATH CHOSEN JACOB UNTO HIMSELF, AND ISRAEL FOR HIS PECULIAR TREASURE.
The People of Israel have been chosen. This is the fact. Israel is the Chosen people. Maybe this is racist And maybe not. It is the truth.  Being chosen also means bearing additional obligations and being expected to act differently.                   
 
[Psalms 135:5] FOR I KNOW THAT THE LORD IS GREAT, AND THAT OUR LORD IS ABOVE ALL GODS.
God is the Creator.  HE has the power to do more for us than all others and to over-rule all other considerations.                    
 
[Psalms 135:6] WHATSOEVER THE LORD PLEASED, THAT DID HE IN HEAVEN, AND IN EARTH, IN THE SEAS, AND ALL DEEP PLACES.                     
 
[Psalms 135:7] HE CAUSETH THE VAPOURS TO ASCEND FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH; HE MAKETH LIGHTNINGS FOR THE RAIN; HE BRINGETH THE WIND OUT OF HIS TREASURIES.                     
 
[Psalms 135:8] WHO SMOTE THE FIRSTBORN OF EGYPT, BOTH OF MAN AND BEAST.                     
 
[Psalms 135:9] WHO SENT TOKENS AND WONDERS INTO THE MIDST OF THEE, O EGYPT, UPON PHARAOH, AND UPON ALL HIS SERVANTS.                     
 
[Psalms 135:10] WHO SMOTE GREAT NATIONS, AND SLEW MIGHTY KINGS;                     
 
[Psalms 135:11] SIHON KING OF THE AMORITES, AND OG KING OF BASHAN, AND ALL THE  KINGDOMS OF CANAAN:   
God took the Israelites out of Egypt, led them through the Wilderness, and brought them into the Land of Canaan. With the help of the Almighty the Israelites were enabled to defeat the Canaanites and Amorites and to wipe out most of them. A few remained and some of them may be found amongst the present-day Palestinians.                 
 
[Psalms 135:12] AND GAVE THEIR LAND FOR AN HERITAGE, AN HERITAGE UNTO ISRAEL HIS PEOPLE. 
The Land of Israel belongs to the People of Israel. The Jews are beginning to redeem the Land of Israel. The Jews represent that portion of the Israelite People who did not get lost but remained Identifiable.  In the future the rest of the Israelite Nations will become identified. The Lost Ten Tribes will return and rejoin with Judah and also receive a portion in the Greater Land of Israel that will stretch from the Nile to the Euphrates.

There will be climate changes. The Land will be healed in the ecological sense. Attempts  to drive the Jews out of any part of the Land of Israel go against the will of the Creator.  Anyone who is against Zionism and the Jews is against God and will be punished.

[Psalms 135:13] THY NAME, O LORD, ENDURETH FOR EVER; AND THY MEMORIAL, O LORD,  THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS.                     
 
[Psalms 135:14] FOR THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE, AND HE WILL REPENT HIMSELF  CONCERNING HIS SERVANTS.
God will restore the Jews. The Jews are the servants of the Almighty. So are the rest of the Israelites in their own way.  The Almighty will rectify the injustices that were practiced against the Jews and prejudices committed against other Israelites. It will be as if God HIMSELF had repented of allowing them to be mistreated in the past and will make it better.                     
 
[Psalms 135:15] THE IDOLS OF THE HEATHEN ARE SILVER AND GOLD, THE WORK OF MEN'S HANDS.                     
 
[Psalms 135:16] THEY HAVE MOUTHS, BUT THEY SPEAK NOT; EYES HAVE THEY, BUT THEY SEE NOT;                     
 
[Psalms 135:17] THEY HAVE EARS, BUT THEY HEAR NOT; NEITHER IS THERE ANY BREATH IN THEIR   MOUTHS.                     
 
[Psalms 135:18] THEY THAT MAKE THEM ARE LIKE UNTO THEM: SO IS EVERY ONE THAT TRUSTETH IN  THEM.
Anyone who believes in false idols will become false like them and empty as they are.                    
 
[Psalms 135:19] BLESS THE LORD, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL: BLESS THE LORD, O HOUSE OF  AARON:                     
 
[Psalms 135:20] BLESS THE LORD, O HOUSE OF LEVI: YE THAT FEAR THE LORD, BLESS THE LORD.  
We ask God to bless the three attributes of Israel:
The House of Israel meaning primarily the Ten Tribes.
The house of Levi meaning the religious worship of God Almighty.
Zion and Jerusalem meaning the Jews of Judah along with those Israelites who will have joined unto them.                  
 
[Psalms 135:21] BLESSED BE THE LORD OUT OF ZION, WHICH DWELLETH AT JERUSALEM. PRAISE  YE THE LORD.
