Psalms 115:13

1 sn Psalms 84. The psalmist expresses his desire to be in God’s presence in the Jerusalem temple, for the Lord is the protector of his people.

2 tn The precise meaning of the Hebrew term הַגִּתִּית (haggittit) is uncertain; it probably refers to a musical style or instrument.

3 tn Or “your dwelling place[s].” The plural form of the noun may indicate degree or quality; this is the Lord’s special dwelling place (see Psalms 43:3; 46:4; 132:5, 7).

4 tn Traditionally, “Lord of hosts.” The title draws attention to God’s sovereign position (see Psalms 69:6).

Psalms 115:14

5 tn Heb “my soul longs, it even pines for.”

6 tn Heb “the courts of the Lord” (see Psalms 65:4).

7 tn Heb “my flesh,” which stands for his whole person and being.

Psalms 115:15

8 tn The word translated “swallow” occurs only here and in Proverbs 26:2.

9 tn Heb “even a bird finds a home, and a swallow a nest for herself, [in] which she places her young.”

sn The psalmist here romanticizes the temple as a place of refuge and safety. As he thinks of the birds nesting near its roof, he envisions them finding protection in God’s presence.
