Psalm 115

¹Not to us, O Lord, not to us,

but to thy name give glory,

for the sake of thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness!

²Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

³Our God is in the heavens;

he does whatever he pleases.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold,

the work of men’s hands.

⁵They have mouths, 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.

⁸Those who make them are like them;

so are all who trust in them.

⁹O Israel, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

¹⁰O house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

¹¹You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

¹²The Lord has 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 those who fear the Lord,

both small and great.

¹⁴May the Lord give you increase,

you and your children!

¹⁵May you be blessed by the Lord,

who made heaven and earth!

¹⁶The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,

but the earth he has given to the sons of men.

¹⁷The dead do not praise the Lord,

nor do any that go down into silence.

¹⁸But we will bless the Lord

from this time forth and for evermore.

Praise the Lord!
