Psalms 115 ⓘ

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.

115:2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

115:3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

115:5 They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

115:6 They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.

115:7 They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

115:8 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

115:9 Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

115:10 House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

115:11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

115:12 The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.

115:13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.

115:14 May the LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.

115:15 Blessed are you by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

115:16 The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.

115:17 The dead don’t praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence,

115:18 but we will bless the LORD, from this time forward and forever more. Praise the LORD!
