Verse 12
The Lord hath been mindful - He has never yet wholly abandoned us to our enemies.
He will bless the house of Israel - He will bless the people as a nation; he will bless the priesthood and Levites; he will bless all of them who fear him, great and small, in whatsoever station or circumstances found. There is a great deal of emphasis in this verse: several words are redoubled to make the subject the more affecting. I give a literal translation: -
- Psalm 115:12 ; "The Lord has been mindful of us he will bless the house of Israel; she will bless the house of Aaron.
Psalm 115:13 ; He will bless them that fear Jehovah, the small with the great.
Psalm 115:14 ; Jehovah will add upon you, upon you and upon all your children.
Psalm 115:15 ; Blessed are ye of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 115:16 ; The heavens of heavens are the Lord's: but the earth he hath given to the sons of Adam."
