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!

Psalm 115
115
1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory,
For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
2Wherefore should the heathen say,
Where is now their God?
3But our God is in the heavens:
He hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men's hands.
5They have mouths, but they speak not:
Eyes have they, but they see not:
6They have ears, but they hear not:
Noses have they, but they smell not:
7They have hands, but they handle not: Feet have they, but they walk not:
Neither speak they through their throat.
8They that make them are like unto them;
So is every one that trusteth in them.
9O Israel, trust thou in the LORD:
He is their help and their shield.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD:
He is their help and their shield.
11Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD:
He is their help and their shield.
12The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
13He will bless them that fear
the LORD, both small and great.
14The LORD shall increase you more and more,
You and your children.
15Ye are blessed of the LORD
Which made heaven and earth.
16The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's:
But the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17The dead praise not the LORD,
Neither any that go down into silence.
18But we will bless the LORD
From this time forth and for evermore.
Praise the LORD.
