psalm 135: Hallelujah

 in Psalm 135 we read:

1-4 Hallelujah!

Praise the name of God,

    praise the works of God.

All you priests on duty in God’s temple,

    serving in the sacred halls of our God,

Shout “Hallelujah!” because God’s so good,

    sing anthems to his beautiful name.

And why? Because God chose Jacob,

    embraced Israel as a prize possession.

Hallelujah means "praise YHWH". We must praise the Lord because he is good, but specially good to his chosen people. Although the Lord is good to mankind in general, it is difficult to perceive that He is good. May I always praise the Lord because He is good, but specially, good to me.
