1 ¡Aleluya! Alaben el nombre de Jehová; alaben, siervos de Jehová, 2 los que permanecen en la casa de Jehová, en los atrios de la casa de nuestro Dios. 3 ¡Aleluya! Porque Jehová es bueno; canten alabanzas a su nombre, porque es agradable. 4 Porque Jah ha elegido para sí a Jacob, a Israel como su tesoro especial. 5 Yo sé que Jehová es grande y que nuestro Señor está por encima de todos los dioses. 6 Jehová ha hecho todo lo que ha querido, en los cielos y en la tierra, en los mares y en todos los abismos. 7 Hace subir las nubes desde los confines de la tierra; hace los relámpagos para la lluvia y saca el viento de sus depósitos. 8 Él hirió a los primogénitos de Egipto, tanto de los seres humanos como de los animales. 9 Envió señales y prodigios en medio de ti, Egipto, contra el faraón y todos sus siervos. 10 Hirió a muchas naciones y mató a reyes poderosos: 11 a Sehón, rey de los amorreos, a Og, rey de Basán, y a todos los reinos de Canaán. 12 Dio sus tierras como heredad, como heredad a Israel, su pueblo. 13 Jehová, tu nombre permanece para siempre; Jehová, tu recuerdo, de generación en generación. 14 Porque Jehová hará justicia a su pueblo y tendrá compasión de sus siervos. 15 Los ídolos de las naciones son plata y oro, obra de manos humanas. 16 Tienen boca, pero no hablan; tienen ojos, pero no ven. 17 Tienen oídos, pero no escuchan; tampoco hay aliento en su boca. 18 Como ellos serán quienes los hacen y todos los que confían en ellos. 19 Casa de Israel, bendigan a Jehová; casa de Aarón, bendigan a Jehová. 20 Casa de Leví, bendigan a Jehová; ustedes que temen a Jehová, bendigan a Jehová. 21 Bendito sea desde Sión Jehová, que habita en Jerusalén. ¡Aleluya!

Salmos 135:1

Introduction

An exhortation to praise God for his goodness and greatness, Psa 135:1-5; for his wonders in nature, Psa 135:6, Psa 135:7; his wonders done in Egypt, Psa 135:8, Psa 135:9; in the wilderness, Psa 135:10-12; for his goodness to his people, Psa 135:13, Psa 135:14. The vanity of idols, Psa 135:15-18. Israel, with its priests and Levites, exhorted to praise the Lord, Psa 135:19-21.

This Psalm is intimately connected with the preceding. It is an exhortation addressed to the priests and Levites, and to all Israel, to publish the praises of the Lord. The conclusion of this Psalm is nearly the same with Psalm 115; and what is said about idols, and the effects of the power of God, seems to be taken from it and the tenth chapter of Jeremiah; and from these and other circumstances it appears the Psalm was written after the captivity; and might as Calmet conjectures, have been used at the dedication of the second temple.

Verse 1

Praise ye the Lord - This may be considered as the title, for it has none other.

Praise ye the name of the Lord - Perhaps the original הללו את שם יהוה haleu eth shem Yehovah, should be translated, Praise ye the name Jehovah; that is, Praise God in his infinite essence of being, holiness, goodness, and truth.

Salmos 135:2

Verse 2

Ye that stand - Priests and Levites. For which he gives several reasons.

Salmos 135:3

Verse 3

The Lord is good - Here is the first reason why he should be praised; and a second is subjoined:

For it is pleasant - It is becoming to acknowledge this infinite Being, and our dependence on him; and it is truly comfortable to an upright mind to be thus employed.

Salmos 135:4

Verse 4

For the Lord hath chosen Jacob - This is a third reason. He has taken the Israelites for his peculiar people, סגלתו segullatho, his peculiar treasure; and now has brought them home to himself from their captivity and wanderings.

Salmos 135:5

Verse 5

The Lord is great - Unlimited in his power: another reason.

Is above all gods - Every class of being, whether idolized or not; because he is the Fountain of existence. This is a fifth reason.

Salmos 135:6

Verse 6

Whatsoever the Lord pleased - All that he has done is right, and therefore it is pleasing in his sight. He is the author of all existence. Angels, men, spirits, the heavens, the earth, and all their contents, were made by him, and are under his control.

Salmos 135:7

Verse 7

He causeth the vapours to ascend - Dr. Shaw thinks that the account here refers to the autumnal rains in the east. Of them he speaks as follows: "Seldom a night passes without much lightning in the north-west quarter, but not attended with thunder; and when this lightning appears in the west or south-west points, it is a sure sign of the approaching rain, which is often followed by thunder. A squall of wind and clouds of dust are the sure forerunners of the first rain." This account induces Mr. Harmer to believe that the word נשאים nesiim, should be translated clouds, not vapours. It shows that God: -

Maketh lightnings for the rain - The squalls of wind bring on these refreshing showers, and are therefore precious things of the treasuries of God, and when he thunders, it is the noise of waters in the heavens. See Jer 10:13, which contains almost the same words as those in this verse: "When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries."

Salmos 135:8-13

Verse 8

Who smote the first-born of Egypt - See the parallel passages.

Salmos 135:14

Verse 14

The Lord will judge his people - He will do them justice against their enemies.

Salmos 135:15-16

Verse 15

The idols of the heathen - This verse and the following, to the end of the 18th, are almost word for word the same as Psa 115:4-8 (note), where see the notes.

Salmos 135:17-18

Verse 17

To this verse one of Kennicott's MSS. adds the Psa 115:6 and Psa 115:7 of Psalm 115.

Salmos 135:19-20

Verse 19

Bless the Lord. O house, etc. - See similar verses, Psa 115:9-13 (note), and the notes there.

Salmos 135:21

Verse 21

Blessed be the Lord out of Zion - Who has once more restored our temple and city, and now condescends to dwell with us in Jerusalem.
