• Psalm 115

  • 1 Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
  • 2 Why do the nations say, “Where is their God?”
  • 3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
  • 4 But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
  • 5 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.
  • 6 They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell.
  • 7 They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk, nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
  • 8 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
  • 9 All you Israelites, trust in the Lord— he is their help and shield.
  • 10 House of Aaron, trust in the Lord— he is their help and shield.
  • 11 You who fear him, trust in the Lord— he is their help and shield.
  • 12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us: He will bless his people Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron,
  • 13 he will bless those who fear the Lord— small and great alike.
  • 14 May the Lord cause you to flourish, both you and your children.
  • 15 May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
  • 16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind.
  • 17 It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to the place of silence;
  • 18 it is we who extol the Lord, both now and forevermore. Praise the Lord.
