Theme

Psalms 115 (18 verses in the MT) opens: Not to us, O YHWH, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy, for your truth's sake. The middle of the chapter continues: O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH: he their help and their shield. It closes: But we will bless YHWH from this time forth and for evermore. Praise YHWH.

Translation & textual notes

The Hebrew base text here follows the Masoretic Text in the Leningrad tradition as represented by the Westminster Leningrad Codex / MorphHB diplomatic stream imported from OSHB; distinctively copyrighted apparatus from BHS or BHQ is not reproduced. Psalms 115 comprises 18 verses in MT order. Movement I (vv. 1-4) — Not to us, O YHWH, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your merc. Not to us, O YHWH, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy, for your truth's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where now their God? But our God in the heavens: he has done whatsoever he has pleased. Their idols silver and gold, the work of men's hands. Movement II (vv. 5-8) — They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. They that make them are like to them; every one that trusteth in them. Movement III (vv. 9-12) — O Israel, trust you in YHWH: he their help and their shield. O Israel, trust you in YHWH: he their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH: he their help and their shield. You that fear YHWH, trust in YHWH: he their help and their shield. YHWH has been mindful of us: he will bless ; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. Movement IV (vv. 13-16) — He will bless them that fear YHWH, small and great. He will bless them that fear YHWH, small and great. YHWH shall increase you more and more, you and your children. You blessed of YHWH which made heaven and earth. The heaven, the heavens, YHWH's: but the earth has he given to the children of men. Movement V (vv. 17-18) — The dead praise not YHWH, neither any that go down into silence. The dead praise not YHWH, neither any that go down into silence. But we will bless YHWH from this time forth and for evermore. Praise YHWH. Where English printed Bibles divide verses differently, this annotation follows MT versification throughout.
