「耶和華」出現在這裡的每節經文，以強調神實在是我們生活的中心。人對祂應要「倚靠」、「敬畏」；祂則對人「眷念」、「賜福」；既然蒙福，人就當以「稱頌」、「讚美」來感恩。這不是功利交易的往還，而是身為被造的人與創造的神同在時的回應。人若按照神創造時所定的規矩做事做人，順服在祂的權柄之下，不再倚靠自己、崇拜偶像，就必為神所賜各種屬天的豐富而感恩不已。
討論：
- 「耶和華向來眷念我們，祂還要賜福給我們；要賜福给以色列的家，賜福給亞倫的家。」(115:12, 和合本)
思想：請黙想細算神在你的生命中有哪些眷念和賜福？
- 「死人不能讚美耶和華，下到寂靜中的也都不能。」(115:17, 和合本)
思想：「死人不能讚美耶和華」對仍活着的你有些什麼啟發？
