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!

Psalms 115
115
1Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
2Why do the nations say, ‘Where, pray, [is] their God.
3And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
4Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
7Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9O Israel, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield [is] He.’
10O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield [is] He.’
11Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield [is] He.’
12 Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
13He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
