Closing Verses

The following selected verses from Psalms mark the close of the individual books of Psalms. Eitz Yoseif notes that these verses may constitute a sort of blessing marking the close of the Pesukei Dezimrah.

Blessed is Adonoy forever, Amein and Amein! Blessed is Adonoy from Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise God. Blessed is Adonoy, God, God of Israel Who alone performs wonders. And blessed is the Name of His glory forever, and may His glory fill the whole earth. Amein and Amein!

Psalms 89:53. God is the eternal source of blessing. We merely declare His blessedness, we do not bless Him.

Psalms 135:21.

“Alone” means without intermediaries (Malbim); also without the beneficiary’s awareness.—(Vilna Gaon)

Psalms 72:18-19. This verse will be fulfilled in Messianic times when all men will be invested with a true awareness of God’s majesty. The prophet (Isaiah 11:9) foretells, “For (then) the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of Adonoy as the waters cover the sea.”—Radak
