Context of Psalms 135:6

4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His own possession. 5For I know that the Lord is great And that our Lord is above all gods. Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, In heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all the ocean depths. 7He causes the mist to ascend from the ends of the earth, He makes lightning for the rain; He brings forth the wind from His treasuries. 8He struck the firstborn of Egypt, Both human firstborn and animal.
