  1. 115:9–11 The house of Israel…the house of Aaron…those who fear the Lord: the laity of Israelite birth, the priests, and the converts to Judaism, cf. Ps 118:2–4; 135:19–21. In the New Testament likewise “those who fear the Lord” means converts to Judaism (cf. Acts 10:2, 22, 35; 13:16, 26).

They have hands, but cannot feel,
    feet, but cannot walk,

Those who make them will be like them,
    and so will all who trust in them.

All you Israelites, trust(A) in the Lord
    he is their help and shield.
