115.2 Quid retribuam Domino. ID.? Territus iste respicit infirmitatem suam, et videt non esse præsumendum de se. Ex se enim homo mendax, ut et Petrus, dum præsumpsit, inventus est mendax: sed virtus Dei est, si non credit. Quod videns iste factum in se gratia Dei, subdit, quæ retribuit mihi. Non ait, pro omnibus quæ tribuit. Quæ igitur præcesserunt hominis bona, ut omnium donorum Dei non tributio, sed retributio vocari possit? Quæ præcesserant nisi peccata? Retribuit ergo Deus hominibus bona pro malis, passus pro eis, cum homines retribuunt mala pro bonis.

BrLXX Ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπα ἐν τῇ ἐκστάσει μου, πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ψεύστης.
(Egō de eipa en taʸ ekstasei mou, pas anthrōpos pseustaʸs. )
Ps 115 In this hymn of thanksgiving for God’s blessings, the community ascribes all glory to the name of the Lord, who is the true source of hope and blessing. Meanwhile, those who trust in idols are greatly disappointed. The blessing of the Creator of heaven and earth extends to future generations (115:14), and especially to the priesthood (115:12).
