Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.


115.2 What retribuam Master. ID.? Territus this respicit infirmitatem his_own, and videt not/no esse præsumendum about se. From se because human mendax, as and Petrus, dum præsumpsit, inventus it_is mendax: but virtus of_God it_is, when/but_if not/no he_believes. That videns this done in se gratia of_God, subdit, which retribuit mihi. Non ait, for to_all which tribuit. Quæ igitur præcesserunt of_man bona, as omnium donorum of_God not/no tributio, but retributio vocari possit? Quæ præcesserant nisi peccata? Retribuit therefore God hominibus good for malis, passus for eis, when/with homines retribuunt mala for bonis.


TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what say the=nations where now God,their )

This rhetorical question emphasizes that there should be no reason for the nations to say what they say. If your readers would misunderstand this question, you can express it as a statement. Alternate translation: “The people of the nations should not be able to say, ‘Where is their God?’”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

Where is their God?

(Some words not found in UHB: to/for=what say the=nations where now God,their )

The people of other nations use this question to mock the people of Israel and to express that they do not see Yahweh helping them. If your readers would misunderstand this question, you can express it as a statement. Alternate translation: “Your God is not here to help you.”
