Psalm 115 is the 115th psalm of the biblical Book of Psalms. It is part of the Egyptian Hallel sequence in the Book of Psalms.
This psalm is attached to the preceding psalm in ancient translations, including the Greek Septuagint (LXX) and its Latin translation, the Vulgate. In these versions of the bible it is counted as verses 9–26 of Psalm 113, verses 1-8 being Psalm 114 in Hebrew numbering.
In Judaism
- This is one of six psalms (113-118) of which Hallel is composed. On all days when Hallel is recited, this psalm is recited in its entirety, except on Rosh Chodesh and the last six days of Passover, when only verses 1-11 are recited.[1]
- Verse 18 is the final verse of Ashrei.[2] It is also recited by some following Psalm 126 preceding Birkat Hamazon.[3]
In Christianity
Verse 1 is notable as the text of the hymn Non nobis, Domine.
