Psalm 115
115
To Your Name Give Glory
1 # [Isa. 48:11; Ezek. 36:22; Dan. 9:18, 19] Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
# See Ps. 36:5 for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
2Why should the nations say,
# [Ex. 32:12; Num. 14:13, 14]; See Ps. 42:3 “Where is their God?”
3 # See Ps. 11:4 Our God is in the heavens;
#
Ps. 135:6; Dan. 4:35 he does all that he pleases.
4 # For ver. 4-8, see Ps. 135:15-18 Their idols are silver and gold,
#
Deut. 4:28; 2 Kgs. 19:18; Isa. 37:19; Acts 19:26; See Isa. 44:10-20; Jer. 10:3-5 the work of human hands.
5They have mouths, #[Isa. 46:7; Hab. 2:18]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.
8 # [Isa. 44:9] Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
9O #[Ps. 118:2-4; 135:19, 20] Israel,#115:9 Masoretic Text; many Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac O house of Israel #Ps. 37:3; 62:8 trust in the Lord!
He is their #Ps. 33:20help and their shield.
10O #[See ver. 9 above] house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and #See Ps. 3:3their shield.
11You #Ps. 22:23; 103:11, 13, 17who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.
12The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us;
he will bless #[Ps. 118:2-4; 135:19, 20]the house of Israel;
he will bless #[Ps. 118:2-4; 135:19, 20]the house of Aaron;
13he will #See Ps. 112:1 bless those who fear the Lord,
#
Jer. 16:6; 31:34 both the small and the great.
14May the Lord #Deut. 1:11give you increase,
you and your children!
15May #See Ruth 2:20 you be blessed by the Lord,
#
Ps. 121:2; 124:8; 134:3; 146:6; Acts 14:15; Rev. 14:7; [Gen. 1:1; 14:19; Jer. 10:11] who made heaven and earth!
16The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of man.
17 # See Ps. 6:5 The dead do not praise the Lord,
nor do any who go down into #See Ps. 31:17silence.
18But #Ps. 113:2 we will bless the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
# See Ps. 104:35 Praise the Lord!

Psalms 115
115
The Lord Deserves To Be Praised
1We don't deserve praise!
The Lord alone deserves
all of the praise,
because of his love
and faithfulness.
2 #
3 Macc 6.11. Why should the nations ask,
“Where is your God?”
3Our God is in the heavens,
doing as he chooses.
4 #
Ps 135.15-18; Let Jer 4-73; Rev 9.20. The idols of the nations
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 of Israel
and the family of Aaron.
13 #
Rev 11.18; 19.5. All who worship the Lord,
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 forevermore.
Shout praises to the Lord!
