Psalm 115- 1
- Psalm 115
- 1
- Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
- 2
- Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?"
- 3
- Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
- 4
- But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
- 5
- They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
- 6
- they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell;
- 7
- they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
- 8
- Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
- 9
- O house of Israel, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
- 10
- O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
- 11
- You who fear him, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
- 12
- The LORD remembers us and 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-- small and great alike.
- 14
- May the LORD make you increase, both you and your children.
- 15
- May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
- 16
- The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man.
- 17
- It is not the dead who praise the LORD, those who go down to silence;
- 18
- it is we who extol the LORD, both now and forevermore. Praise the LORD. [1]
