Psalms 115:1-8

11Not to us, Lord, not to us, But 2to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, because of Your 3truth.24Why should the nations say, “5Where, then, is their God?”3But our 6God is in the heavens; He 7does whatever He pleases.4Their 8idols are silver and gold, The 9work of human 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.
