Context of Psalms 135:6
4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure. 5For I know that the Lord is great, And our Lord is above all gods. Whatever the Lord pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places. 7He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries. 8He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and beast.
