Psalms 135:5

God's power and sovereigntyPraise and worship

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

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

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.

7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
