Psalm 115
1 Not
to us, LORD,
not to us,
but to your
name give glory,
for your loving
kindness, and for
your truth’s sake.
2 Why
should the
nations say,
“Where is
their God, now?”
3 But
our God is
in the heavens.
He does whatever
he pleases.
4 Their
idols are silver
and gold,
the work of men’s
hands.
5 They
have mouths, but
they don’t speak.
They have eyes,
but they don’t see.
6 They
have ears, but
they don’t hear.
They have noses,
but they don’t
smell.
7 They
have hands, but
they don’t feel.
They have feet,
but they don’t
walk,
neither do they
speak through
their throat.
8 Those
who make them
will be like
them;
yes, everyone who trusts
in them.
9 Israel, trust
in the LORD!
He is their
help and their
shield.
10 House
of Aaron, trust in
the LORD!
He is their
help and their
shield.
11 You who
fear the LORD,
trust in the LORD!
He is their
help and their
shield.
12 The
LORD remembers us.
He will bless
us.
He will bless
the house of
Israel.
He will bless
the house of Aaron.
13 He
will bless those
who fear the
LORD,
both small and
great.
14 May
the LORD increase
you more and
more,
you and your
children.
15 Blessed
are you by
the LORD,
who made heaven
and earth.
16 The
heavens are the
LORD’s heavens,
but he has
given the earth
to the children
of men.
17 The
dead don’t praise
the LORD,
nor any who
go down into
silence,
18 but
we will bless
the LORD,
from this
time forward and
forever more.
Praise the
LORD!
