Psalm 115

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

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

³ Our God is in the heavens;
he does all that he pleases.

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human 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 become like them;
so do all who trust in them.

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

¹⁰ O 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 has remembered 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 the small and the 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 children of man.

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

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