Introduction
God alone is to be glorified, Psalm 115:1-3 . The vanity of idols, Psalm 115:4-8 . Israel, the house of Aaron, and all that fear God, are exhorted to trust it the Lord, Psalm 115:9-11 . The Lord's goodness to his people, and his gracious promises, Psalm 115:12-16 . As the dead cannot praise him, the living should, Psalm 115:17 , Psalm 115:18 .
This Psalm is written as a part of the preceding by eighteen of Kennicott's and fifty-three of De Rossi's MSS.; by some ancient editions the Septuagint, the Syriac, the Vulgate, the Ethiopic, the Arabic, and the Anglo-Saxon. The old Anglo-Scottish Psalter reads it consecutively with the foregoing. Who the author of both was, we know not, nor on what occasion it was written. It seems to be an epinikion or triumphal song, in which the victory gained is entirely ascribed to Jehovah.
