Psalm 115
1. Because God is truly glorious
4. And idols are vanity
9. He exhorts to confidence in God
12. God is to be blessed for his blessing














The LORD
The term "LORD" in this verse is derived from the Hebrew "YHWH," often vocalized as Yahweh. This is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. In the context of Psalm 115, the use of "LORD" underscores the personal relationship between God and His people, Israel. It is a reminder of His sovereignty and His role as the ultimate authority and protector of His chosen ones.

has remembered us
The phrase "has remembered us" is significant in the Hebrew context, where "remember" (זָכַר, zakar) implies more than just recalling to mind. It denotes an active engagement and intervention on behalf of those remembered. In the historical context of Israel, this remembrance is often associated with God's covenantal faithfulness, where He acts to fulfill His promises. This assurance of divine remembrance is a source of comfort and hope, affirming that God is attentive to the needs and circumstances of His people.

He will bless us
The promise "He will bless us" reflects the Hebrew concept of blessing (בָּרַךְ, barak), which encompasses prosperity, protection, and favor. In the scriptural context, blessings are often tied to obedience and faithfulness to God's commandments. This assurance of blessing is a testament to God's generous nature and His desire to bestow good things upon His people. It is a call to trust in His provision and to live in a manner that aligns with His will.

He will bless the house of Israel
The "house of Israel" refers to the descendants of Jacob, the twelve tribes that constitute the nation of Israel. This phrase highlights the collective identity and unity of God's chosen people. Historically, the house of Israel has been the recipient of God's promises and covenants, and this blessing reaffirms their special status and role in God's redemptive plan. It is a reminder of the enduring relationship between God and Israel, despite their struggles and failures.

He will bless the house of Aaron
The "house of Aaron" specifically refers to the priestly lineage within Israel, the descendants of Aaron, Moses' brother. This group held a unique position as mediators between God and the people, responsible for the temple worship and sacrifices. The blessing upon the house of Aaron signifies God's favor upon those who serve Him in a dedicated capacity, emphasizing the importance of spiritual leadership and faithfulness in worship. It is an encouragement for those in ministry to remain steadfast in their calling.

Verses 12, 13. - The whole choir, or perhaps the whole congregation, expresses its confidence in God. He has always Been mind-fill of his people, and, in response to their threefold expression of trust, will bestow on them a threefold blessing. Verse 12. - The Lord hath been mindful of us (comp. Psalm 98:4; Psalm 136:23). He will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel (comp. ver. 10). He will bless the house of Aaron (comp. ver. 11).
