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. |
