Psalms 115

¹ Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for the sake of thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness!

² Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?"

³ 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 do not speak; eyes, but do not see.

⁶ They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.

⁷ They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat.

⁸ Those who make them are like them; so are all who trust in them.

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

¹⁰ O house of Aaron, put your 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 has been mindful of 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 give you increase, you and your children!

¹⁵ May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth!

¹⁶ The heavens are the LORD's heavens, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.

¹⁷ The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any that go down into silence.

¹⁸ But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD!
