Psalm 135:16-21

16 They have mouths, but they can't speak; They have eyes, but they can't see;

17 They have ears, but they can't hear; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them will be like them; Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!

20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!

21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Yah!

Psalm 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.
