Psaume 135:16-21

16 Elles ont une bouche et ne parlent point, Elles ont des yeux et ne voient point,

17 Elles ont des oreilles et n'entendent point, Elles n'ont point de souffle dans leur bouche.

18 Ils leur ressemblent, ceux qui les fabriquent, Tous ceux qui se confient en elles.

19 Maison d'Israël, bénissez l'Eternel! Maison d'Aaron, bénissez l'Eternel!

20 Maison de Lévi, bénissez l'Eternel! Vous qui craignez l'Eternel, bénissez l'Eternel!

21 Que de Sion l'on bénisse l'Eternel, Qui habite à Jérusalem! Louez l'Eternel!

Psaume 135:16-21 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.
