Psalms 115
115
The One True God
1To you alone, O LORD, to you alone,
and not to us, must glory be given
because of your constant love and faithfulness.
2Why should the nations ask us,
“Where is your God?”
3Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever he wishes.

Ps 135.15–18; Rev 9.20 Their gods are made of silver and gold,
formed 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;
they cannot make a sound.
8May all who made them and who trust in them
become#115.8 May all… become; or All who made them and who trust in them will become. like the idols they have made.
9Trust in the LORD, you people of Israel.
He helps you and protects you.
10Trust in the LORD, you priests of God.
He helps you and protects you.
11Trust in the LORD, all you that worship him.
He helps you and protects you.
12The LORD remembers us and will bless us;
he will bless the people of Israel
and all the priests of God.

Rev 11.18; 19.5 He will bless everyone who honours him,
the great and the small alike.
14May the LORD give you children —
you and your descendants!
15May you be blessed by the LORD,
who made heaven and earth!
16Heaven belongs to the LORD alone,
but he gave the earth to the human race.
17The LORD is not praised by the dead,
by any who go down to the land of silence.#115.17 land of silence: The world of the dead (see 6.5).
18But we, the living, will give thanks to him
now and for ever.
Praise the LORD!

Tehillim (Psa) 115
115
1Not to us, Adonai, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
because of your grace and truth.
2Why should the nations ask,
“Where is their God?”
3Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever pleases him.
4Their idols are mere silver and gold,
made by human hands.
5They have mouths, but they can’t speak;
they have eyes, but they can’t see;
6they have ears, but they can’t hear;
they have noses, but they can’t smell;
7they have hands, but they can’t feel;
they have feet, but they can’t walk;
with their throats they can’t make a sound.
8The people who make them will become like them,
along with everyone who trusts in them.
9Isra’el, trust in Adonai!
He is their help and shield.
10House of Aharon, trust in Adonai!
He is their help and shield.
11You who fear Adonai, trust in Adonai!
He is their help and shield.
12Adonai has kept us in mind,
and he will bless.
He will bless the house of Isra’el;
he will bless the house of Aharon;
13he will bless those who fear Adonai,
great and small alike.
14May Adonai increase your numbers,
both yours and those of your children.
15May you be blessed by Adonai,
the maker of heaven and earth.
16Heaven belongs to Adonai,
but the earth he has given to humankind.
17The dead can’t praise Adonai,
not those who sink down into silence.
18But we will bless Adonai
from now on and forever.
Halleluyah!
