Salmi 135:15-21

15 Gl’idoli delle nazioni sono argento e oro, opera di mano d’uomo.
16 Hanno bocca e non parlano; hanno occhi e non vedono;
17 hanno orecchi e non odono, e non hanno fiato alcuno nella loro bocca.
18 Simili ad essi siano quelli che li fanno, tutti quelli che in essi confidano.
19 Casa d’Israele, benedite l’Eterno! Casa d’Aaronne, benedite l’Eterno!
20 Casa di Levi, benedite l’Eterno! Voi che temete l’Eterno, benedite l’Eterno!
21 Sia benedetto da Sion l’Eterno, che abita in Gerusalemme! Alleluia.

Salmi 135:15-21 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 135

This psalm was written very probably by the same hand as the former. It begins in much the same manner; it has some likeness with Psalm 113 and 114. It begins and ends with "hallelujah"; and is throughout an exhortation of praise to God, on account of his name, nature, and perfections; and because of his works of creation, providence, and grace, many of which are enumerated. The Syriac interpreter says, there is an intimation in it of the conversion of the people of the Messiah unto the faith.
