Psalms 115:9
O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
BSB
ASV
O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.
KJV
O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
O Israel, trust thou in the Lord,.... Or, "the house of Israel hath trusted in the Lord": so the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions: the Targum is, "Israel trusteth in the Word of the Lord;'' in distinction from the Heathens, that trust in their idols.
O Israel, trust thou in the Lord. Whatever others do, let the elect of heaven keep fast to the God who chose them. Jehovah is the God of Jacob, let his children prove their loyalty to their God by their confidence in him. Whatever our trouble may be, and however fierce the blasphemous language of our enemies, let us not fear nor falter, but confidently rest in him who is able to vindicate his own honour, and protect his own servants. He is their help and their shield.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
