Psalm 115
¹ Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to
your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love
and your faithfulness.
² Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”

³ Our God is in the heavens;
he does whatever he pleases.
⁴ Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
⁵ They have mouths, but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
⁶ They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
⁷ They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
they make no sound in their
throats.
⁸ Those who make them are like them;
so are all who trust in them.

⁹ O Israel, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.
¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.
¹¹ You who fear the Lord, trust in
the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.

¹² The Lord has 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 bless those who fear the Lord,
both small and great.
¹⁴ May the Lord give you increase,
both you and your children.
¹⁵ May you be blessed by the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶ The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,
but the earth he has given to
human beings.
¹⁷ The dead do not praise the Lord,
nor do any that go down into
silence.
¹⁸ But we will bless the Lord
from this time on and forevermore.
¹⁸ Praise the Lord!
