Psalm 115
1Don’t give glory to us, O Lord.
Don’t give glory to us.
Instead, give glory to your name
because of your mercy and faithfulness.
2Why should other nations say, “Where is their God?”
3Our God is in heaven.
He does whatever he wants.
4Their idols are made of silver and gold.
They were made by human hands.#115:4 Verses 4–8 are virtually identical in wording to Psalm 135:15–18.
5They have mouths, but they cannot speak.
They have eyes, but they cannot see.
6They have ears, but they cannot hear.
They have noses, but they cannot smell.
7They have hands, but they cannot feel.
They have feet, but they cannot walk.
They cannot ⌞even⌟ make a sound with their throats.
8Those who make idols end up like them.
So does everyone who trusts them.
9Israel, trust the Lord.
He is your helper and your shield.
10Descendants of Aaron, trust the Lord.
He is your helper and your shield.
11If you fear the Lord, trust the Lord.
He is your helper and your shield.
12The Lord, who is ⌞always⌟ thinking about us, will bless us.
He will bless the descendants of Israel.
He will bless the descendants of Aaron.
13He will bless those who fear the Lord,
from the least important to the most important.
14May the Lord continue to bless you and your children.
15You will be blessed by the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
16The highest heaven belongs to the Lord,
but he has given the earth to the descendants of Adam.
17Those who are dead do not praise the Lord,
nor do those who go into the silence ⌞of the grave⌟.
18But we will thank the Lord now and forever.
Hallelujah!

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.
