115:9-13 Verses 12-13 list the consequences of vv. 9-11; Israel trusts God, and God blesses Israel.
115:14 Increased descendants is a sign of the Lord’s favor and blessing.
115:15 The Lord created all things; he is not created by human hands (v. 4). This expression occurs frequently in poetical texts that herald the Lord’s superiority.
115:16 The human race is literally “the sons of man (’adam).” God has given (entrusted) the earth to mankind to be its trustees.
115:17-18 Those who have descended into silence is a figure for those who are dead—lifeless idols and their makers. Conversely, those who trust in God are alive, and they bless his name forever.
