| 115:1 |
Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. |
| 115:2 |
Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?" |
| 115:3 |
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. |
| 115:4 |
But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. |
| 115:5 |
They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see; |
| 115:6 |
they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell; |
| 115:7 |
they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats. |
| 115:8 |
Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them. |
| 115:9 |
O house of Israel, trust in the LORD--he is their help and shield. |
| 115:10 |
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD--he is their help and shield. |
| 115:11 |
You who fear him, trust in the LORD--he is their help and shield. |
| 115:12 |
The LORD remembers us and will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron, |
| 115:13 |
he will bless those who fear the LORD--small and great alike. |
| 115:14 |
May the LORD make you increase, both you and your children. |
| 115:15 |
May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. |
| 115:16 |
The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man. |
| 115:17 |
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, those who go down to silence; |
| 115:18 |
it is we who extol the LORD, both now and forevermore. Praise the LORD. |
