I could see the 135th Psalm being a continuation of the challenge to the priests and temple "staff" to praise the LORD, and set an example to the congregation in doing so. But it also reviews, repeats, and re-emphasizes some of the material in previous Psalms. As I've seen before, there are brief touchpoints in Israelite history that always seem to merit repeat, and its the captivity in Egypt, and God's subsequent liberation of their nation. That point must be important, the freeing from captivity and oppression.
This Psalm also affirms God's place as head of all creation, and dengrates idols, as well as those who worship them as gods.
God's power and willingness to free Israel and give them land are praiseworthy.
