Psalms 115
115
1Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name goes all the glory
for your unfailing love and faithfulness.
2Why let the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
3Our God is in the heavens,
and he does as he wishes.
4Their idols are merely things of silver and gold,
shaped by human hands.
5They have mouths but cannot speak,
and eyes but cannot see.
6They have ears but cannot hear,
and noses but cannot smell.
7They have hands but cannot feel,
and feet but cannot walk,
and throats but cannot make a sound.
8And those who make idols are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.
9O Israel, trust the Lord!
He is your helper and your shield.
10O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the Lord!
He is your helper and your shield.
11All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord!
He is your helper and your shield.
12The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless the people of Israel
and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
13He will bless those who fear the Lord,
both great and lowly.
14May the Lord richly bless
both you and your children.
15May you be blessed by the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
16The heavens belong to the Lord,
but he has given the earth to all humanity.
17The dead cannot sing praises to the Lord,
for they have gone into the silence of the grave.
18But we can praise the Lord
both now and forever!
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 115
115
To Your Name Give Glory
1 # [Isa. 48:11; Ezek. 36:22; Dan. 9:18, 19] Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
# See Ps. 36:5 for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
2Why should the nations say,
# [Ex. 32:12; Num. 14:13, 14]; See Ps. 42:3 “Where is their God?”
3 # See Ps. 11:4 Our God is in the heavens;
#
Ps. 135:6; Dan. 4:35 he does all that he pleases.
4 # For ver. 4-8, see Ps. 135:15-18 Their idols are silver and gold,
#
Deut. 4:28; 2 Kgs. 19:18; Isa. 37:19; Acts 19:26; See Isa. 44:10-20; Jer. 10:3-5 the work of human hands.
5They have mouths, #[Isa. 46:7; Hab. 2:18]but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
6They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
7They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
8 # [Isa. 44:9] Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
9O #[Ps. 118:2-4; 135:19, 20] Israel,#115:9 Masoretic Text; many Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac O house of Israel #Ps. 37:3; 62:8 trust in the Lord!
He is their #Ps. 33:20help and their shield.
10O #[See ver. 9 above] house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and #See Ps. 3:3their shield.
11You #Ps. 22:23; 103:11, 13, 17who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.
12The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us;
he will bless #[Ps. 118:2-4; 135:19, 20]the house of Israel;
he will bless #[Ps. 118:2-4; 135:19, 20]the house of Aaron;
13he will #See Ps. 112:1 bless those who fear the Lord,
#
Jer. 16:6; 31:34 both the small and the great.
14May the Lord #Deut. 1:11give you increase,
you and your children!
15May #See Ruth 2:20 you be blessed by the Lord,
#
Ps. 121:2; 124:8; 134:3; 146:6; Acts 14:15; Rev. 14:7; [Gen. 1:1; 14:19; Jer. 10:11] who made heaven and earth!
16The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of man.
17 # See Ps. 6:5 The dead do not praise the Lord,
nor do any who go down into #See Ps. 31:17silence.
18But #Ps. 113:2 we will bless the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
# See Ps. 104:35 Praise the Lord!
