the Maker of heaven and earth: This phrase speaks about how the Lord created everything and has power over all creation.

Psalms 115:1–18

This is a song of thanksgiving for God's blessings. The community gives all glory to the Lord, the true source of hope and blessing. Those who trust in idols feel great disappointment. The Creator's blessing extends to future generations (Psalm 115:14), especially to the priests (115:12).
