Psalms115

¹Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory , for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness !

²Why should the nations say , Where is their God ?

³Our God is in the heavens ; he does all that he pleases .

⁴Their idols are silver and gold , the work of human 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 become like them; so do all who trust in them.

⁹O Israel , trust 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 .

¹¹You who 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 the house of Israel ; he will bless the house of Aaron ;

¹³he will bless those who fear the Lord, both the small and the 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 children of man .

¹⁷The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence .

¹⁸But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore . Praise the Lord!
