He chose the believer in Christ to show forth His praise.
The Lord chose Jacob to show forth His praise. The Psalmist writes.
Let’s read:
Psalm 135:1-4 “Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD. [2] Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God, [3] Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. [4] For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.”
He chose the believer in Christ even before we were formed in our mother’s womb.
Ephesians 1:4 “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:”
To show forth His praise.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 135:5-13 “For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. [6] Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. [7] He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. [8] Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. [9] Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. [10] Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; [11] Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: [12] And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. [13] Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.”
The Name is Jesus Christ.
His Name endures forever. His death and resurrection is a memorial throughout all generations.
We conclude our reading:
Psalm 135:14-21 “For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. [15] The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. [16] They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; [17] They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. [18] They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. [19] Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron: [20] Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD. [21] Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.”

Praise the Lord. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Lord as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Chosen by Love divine, before the foundation of the world, to show forth His praise, in Christ!
