Psalms 115:13 meaning and explanation

He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.

Psalms 115:13, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

This verse sits in a psalm sung by Israel in worship, likely after the return from exile, when the nations around them mocked the apparent absence of their God. The speaker widens the circle of blessing: after naming Israel and the house of Aaron, the priests, the psalm adds "those who fear the LORD," that is, everyone who reveres God, whether or not they share Israel's ancestry.
