Psalms 115

Heathen Idols Contrasted with the Lord.

1 aNot to us, Lord, not to us,
But bto Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy, because of Your
Or faithfulness
truth.
2 dWhy should the nations say,
eWhere, then, 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 human 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 oIsrael, ptrust in the Lord;
He is their qhelp and their shield.
10 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 yincrease you,
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 mankind.
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 and forever.
Or Hallelujah!
Praise
Heb Yah
the Lord!
