For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
The Psalmist calls on all God's servants, whether those who stand in the temple itself or in its courts, to praise His name, not as a vague sentiment, but as praise of God in His actual infinite essence: His being, holiness, goodness, and truth. We praise what He truly is.

Commenting on Psalm 135:1-21
The Lord will not leave His people to the maltreatment of their foes, but will arise and avenge them when their correction ends. He seems to forget them, but He does not; when He has smitten them low, He repents of the blow as a father repents striking his child, for He does not afflict willingly. It goes to His heart to see His beloved oppressed.

I know the Lord is great, not by hearsay but by seeing and trusting His revelation, and infinitely above all pretenders to divinity. His power is absolute and almighty: He does what He pleases in heaven, earth, and sea, with none to hinder or question Him. The heathen gods can do nothing; our God does everything.
