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!

Psalms 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 nations say,
Where is now their God?
3But our God is in the heavens:
He hath done whatsoever he 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 shall be like unto them;
Yea, 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 ye 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 increase you more and more,
You and your children.
15Blessed are ye of the LORD,
Which made heaven and earth.
16The heavens are the heavens of the LORD;
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 ye the LORD.
