Psalms 115

Heathen Idols Contrasted with the Lord.

11Not to us, LordH3068, not to us, But 2to Your nameH8034 giveH5414 gloryH3519, BecauseH5921 of Your mercyH2617, becauseH5921 of Your 3truthH571.24WhyH4100 should the nationsH1471 sayH559, “5WhereH346, thenH4994, is their GodH430?”3But our 6GodH430 is in the heavensH8064; He 7doesH6213 whateverH3605H834 He pleasesH2654.4Their 8idolsH6091 are silverH3701 and goldH2091, The 9workH4639 of humanH120 handsH3027.5They have mouthsH6310, but they 10cannotH3808 speakH1696; They have eyesH5869, but they cannotH3808 seeH7200;6They have earsH241, but they cannotH3808 hearH8085; They have nosesH639, but they cannotH3808 smellH7381;711They have handsH3027, but they cannotH3808 feelH4184; 12They have feetH7272, but they cannotH3808 walkH1980; They cannotH3808 makeH1897 aH1897 soundH1897 with their throatH1627.813Those who makeH6213 them 14will becomeH1961 likeH3644 them, EveryoneH3605 whoH834 trustsH982 in them.

915IsraelH3478, 16trustH982 in the LordH3068; He is their 17helpH5828 and their shieldH4043.10HouseH1004 of 18AaronH175, trustH982 in the LordH3068; He is their helpH5828 and their shieldH4043.11You who 1920fearH3372 the LordH3068, trustH982 in the LordH3068; He is their helpH5828 and their shieldH4043.12The LordH3068 21has beenH2142 mindfulH2142 of us; He will blessH1288 us. He will blessH1288 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; He will blessH1288 the houseH1004 of AaronH175.13He will 22blessH1288 those who 23fearH3372 the LordH3068, 24The smallH6996 togetherH5973 withH5973 the greatH1419.14May the LordH3068 25increaseH3254 you, You and your childrenH1121.15May you be blessedH1288 of the LordH3068, 26MakerH6213 of heavenH8064 and earthH776.

16The heavensH8064 are 27the heavensH8064 of the LordH3068, But 28the earthH776 He has givenH5414 to the sonsH1121 of mankindH120.17The 29deadH4191 do not praiseH1984 30the LordH3050, NorH3808 do anyH3605 who goH3381 downH3381 into 31silenceH1745;18But as for us, we will 32blessH1288 33the LordH3050 From thisH6258 timeH6258 and foreverH5704H5769. 34PraiseH1984 35the LordH3050!
