Psalms 115

Heathen Idols Contrasted with the Lord.

11Not to us, O Lord, not to us, But 2to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your 3truth.24Why should the nations say, “5Where, now, is their God?”3But our 6God is in the heavens; He 7does whatever He pleases.4Their 8idols are silver and gold, The 9work of man’s hands.5They have mouths, but they 10cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;6They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell;711They have hands, but they cannot feel; 12They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat.813Those who make them 14will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them.

9O 15Israel, 16trust in the Lord; He is their 17help and their shield.10O house of 18Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.11You who 1920fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.12The Lord 21has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.13He will 22bless those who 23fear the Lord, 24The small together with the great.14May the Lord 25give you increase, You and your children.15May you be blessed of the Lord, 26Maker of heaven and earth.

16The heavens are 27the heavens of the Lord, But 28the earth He has given to the sons of men.17The 29dead do not praise 30the Lord, Nor do any who go down into 31silence;18But as for us, we will 32bless 33the Lord From this time forth and forever. 34Praise 35the Lord!
