Psalms 135:4

2 who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.

5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.

6 The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
