I desire no one but you on earth. 1 

Psalms 115:7

Context

115:7 hands, but cannot touch,

feet, but cannot walk.

They cannot even clear their throats. 2 

1 tn Heb “Who [is there] for me in heaven? And besides you I do not desire [anyone] in the earth.” The psalmist uses a merism (heaven/earth) to emphasize that God is the sole object of his desire and worship in the entire universe.

2 tn Heb “they cannot mutter in their throats.” Verse 5a refers to speaking, v. 7c to inarticulate sounds made in the throat (see M. Dahood, Psalms [AB], 3:140-41).
