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
Dead Idols and the Living God
1Not to us, O Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
because of your loyal love,
because of your faithfulness.
2Why should the nations say,
“Where, pray tell,#Literally “please” is their God?”
3But our God is in the heavens;
all that he desires, he does.
4Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
5They have mouths, but cannot speak;
they have eyes, but cannot see;
6they have ears, but cannot hear;
they have noses, but cannot smell;
7they have their hands, but they cannot feel,
their feet, but they cannot walk;
they cannot utter a sound in their throats.
8Those who make them become like them,
as does everyone who trusts in them.
9O Israel, trust Yahweh;
he is their help and their shield.
10O house of Aaron, trust in Yahweh;
he is their help and their shield.
11You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh;
he is their help and their shield.
12Yahweh remembers us; he will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron.
13He will bless those who fear Yahweh,
the small with the great.
14May Yahweh give you increase,
you and your children.
15May you be blessed by Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.
16The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of humankind.
17The dead do not praise Yah,#A shortened form of “Yahweh”
nor any descending into silence.
18It is we, we will bless Yah#A shortened form of “Yahweh”
from now until forever.
Praise Yah!#Hebrew hallelujah
