Psalms 115

Psalms 115

1Not to us , LORD , not to us ,[#115:1 or GOD in all caps is from the Hebrew יהוה Yahweh except when otherwise noted as being from the short form יה Yah.]

but to your name give glory ,

for your loving kindness , and for your truth ’s sake .

2Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God, now ?”

3But our God is in the heavens .

He does whatever he pleases .

4Their idols are silver and gold ,

the work of men’s hands .

5They have mouths , but they don’t speak .

They have eyes , but they don’t see .

6They have ears, but they don’t hear .

They have noses, but they don’t smell .

7They have hands , but they don’t feel .

They have feet , but they don’t walk ,

neither do they speak through their throat .

8Those who make them will be like them ;

yes, everyone who trusts in them .

9Israel , trust in the LORD !

He is their help and their shield .

10House of Aaron, trust in the LORD !

He is their help and their shield .

11You who fear the LORD , trust in the LORD !

He is their help and their shield .

12The LORD remembers us . He will bless us .

He will bless the house of Israel .

He will bless the house of Aaron.

13He will bless those who fear the LORD ,

both small and great .

14May the LORD increase you more and more ,

you and your children .

15Blessed are you by the LORD ,

who made heaven and earth .

16The heavens are the LORD ’s heavens ,

but he has given the earth to the children of men .

17The dead don’t praise the LORD ,[#115:17 Hebrew: יה Yah]

nor any who go down into silence ,

18but we will bless the LORD ,[#115:18 Hebrew: יה Yah]

from this time forward and forever more .

Praise the LORD !
