115:16-18 We Will Bless the Lord Forever. The psalm closes by having the congregation sing of their renewed dedication to bless the Lord (in response to his blessing, vv. 12-15).

115:16 As v. 15 agrees, the Lord made heaven and earth; the heavens are where the Lord dwells (in the place of rule, see v. 3), while the earth he has given to the children of man (i.e., to mankind in general, for whom Israel is the first installment of their renewal in God's image).

115:17 The dead do not praise the Lord. See notes on 6:5 and 88:10-12.
