Psalms 115
115
1Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to thy name give glory,
for the sake of thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness!
2Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
3Our God is in the heavens;
he does whatever he pleases.
4 #
Ps 135.15-18. Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of men's hands.
5They have mouths, 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.
8Those who make them are like them;
so are all who trust in them.
9O Israel, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.
10O house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.
11You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.
12The Lord has been mindful of us; he will bless us;
he will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron;
13 #
Rev 11.18; 19.5. he will bless those who fear the Lord,
both small and great.
14May the Lord give you increase,
you and your children!
15May you be blessed by the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!
16The heavens are the Lord's heavens,
but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
17The dead do not praise the Lord,
nor do any that go down into silence.
18But we will bless the Lord
from this time forth and for evermore.
Praise the Lord!

Psalms 115
115
The LORD deserves to be praised
1We don't deserve praise!
The LORD alone deserves
all the praise,
because of his love
and faithfulness.
2Why should the nations ask,
“Where is your God?”
3Our God is in the heavens,
doing as he chooses.
4The idols of the nations#Ps 135.15-18; Rev 9.20.
are made of silver and gold.
5They have a mouth and eyes,
but they can't speak or see.
6Their ears can't hear,
and their noses can't smell.
7Their hands have no feeling,
their legs don't move,
and they can't make a sound.
8Everyone who made the idols
and all who trust them
are just as helpless
as those useless gods.
9People of Israel,
you must trust the LORD
to help and protect you.
10Family of Aaron the priest,
you must trust the LORD
to help and protect you.
11All of you worship the LORD,
so you must trust him
to help and protect you.
12The LORD will not forget
to give us his blessing;
he will bless all Israel
and the family of Aaron.
13All who worship the LORD,#Rev 11.18; 19.5.
no matter who they are,
will receive his blessing.
14I pray that the LORD
will let your family
and your descendants
always grow strong.
15May the LORD who created
the heavens and the earth
give you his blessing.
16The LORD has kept the heavens
for himself,
but he has given the earth
to us humans.
17The dead are silent
and cannot praise the LORD,
18but we will praise him
now and for evermore.
Shout praises to the LORD!
