Psalms 115

Heathen Idols Contrasted with the Lord.

1 ^aNot to us, O Lord, not to us,
But ^bto Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your ^{▼▼ Or faithfulness}truth.
2 ^dWhy should the nations say,
^e“Where, now, is their God?”
3 But our ^fGod is in the heavens;
He ^gdoes whatever He pleases.
4 Their ^hidols are silver and gold,
The ⁱwork of man’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they ^jcannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
6 They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
7 ^{▼▼ Lit Their hands}They have hands, but they cannot feel;
^{▼▼ Lit Their feet}They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8 ^mThose who make them ^{▼▼ Or are like them}will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.

9 O ^oIsrael, ^ptrust in the Lord;
He is their ^qhelp and their shield.
10 O house of ^rAaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
11 You who ^{▼▼ Or revere
,} ^tfear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord ^uhas been mindful of us; He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will ^vbless those who ^{▼▼ Or revere}fear the Lord,
^xThe small together with the great.
14 May the Lord ^ygive you increase,
You and your children.
15 May you be blessed of the Lord,
^zMaker of heaven and earth.

16 The heavens are ^aathe heavens of the Lord,
But ^abthe earth He has given to the sons of men.
17 The ^acdead do not praise ^{▼▼ Heb Yah}the Lord,
Nor do any who go down into ^aesilence;
18 But as for us, we will ^afbless ^{▼▼ Heb Yah}the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
^{▼▼ Or Hallelujah!}Praise ^{▼▼ Heb Yah}the Lord!
