Psalms 115:13-15

Context

115:13 He will bless his loyal followers, 1 

both young and old. 2 

115:14 May he increase your numbers,

yours and your children’s! 3 

115:15 May you be blessed by the Lord,

the creator 4  of heaven and earth!

1 tn Heb “the fearers of the Lord.”

2 tn Heb “the small along with the great.” The translation assumes that “small” and “great” here refer to age (see 2 Chr 15:13). Another option is to translate “both the insignificant and the prominent” (see Job 3:19; cf. NEB “high and low alike”).

3 tn Heb “may he add to you, to you and your sons.” The prefixed verbal form is jussive, indicating this is a prayer.

4 tn Or “maker.”
