Footnotes

  1. Psalm 135:19 Employing the language of Pss 115:9-11; 118:2-4 (with the addition of “O house of Levi”), the psalmist calls upon all to praise the Lord present in Zion.
  2. Psalm 135:21 Alleluia: i.e., “Hallelujah” or “Bless [or praise] the Lord”; some regard this line as belonging to the beginning of Ps 136.
