Psalms 135:18-21

135:18 Those who make them will end up like them,

as will everyone who trusts in them.

135:19 O family of Israel, praise the Lord!

O family of Aaron, praise the Lord!

135:20 O family of Levi, praise the Lord!

You loyal followers of the Lord, praise the Lord!

135:21 The Lord deserves praise in Zion

he who dwells in Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord!


tn Heb “will be.” Another option is to take the prefixed verbal form as a prayer, “may those who make them end up like them.”

tn Heb “house” (here and in the next two lines).

tn Heb “fearers.”

tn Heb “praised be the Lord from Zion.”
