Understand

Psalm 115 begins by refusing glory for the worshiping community and asking that honor go to Yahweh’s name. It contrasts the living God in heaven with lifeless idols made by human hands, then calls Israel, the house of Aaron, and all who fear Yahweh to trust him. The psalm ends with blessing, creation language, and a pledge that the living will bless Yah from now on.

Themes glory given to Yahweh’s name · the nations’ taunt · lifeless idols and living God · trust in Yahweh as help and shield

I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?

I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

About this reading layout
