Psalm 115

¹Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your Name give glory; *because of your love and because of your faithfulness.

²Why should the heathen say, *“Where then is their God?”

³Our God is in heaven; *whatever he wills to do he does.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold, *the work of human hands.

⁵They have mouths, but they cannot speak; *eyes have they, but they cannot see;

⁶They have ears but they cannot hear; *noses, but they cannot smell;

⁷They have hands, but they cannot feel; feet, but they cannot walk; *they make no sound with their throat.

⁸Those who make them are like them, *and so are all who put their trust in them.

⁹O Israel, trust in the Lord; *he is their help and their shield.

¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; *he is their help and their shield.

¹¹You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; *he is their help and their shield.

¹²The Lord has been mindful of us, and he will bless us; *he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;

¹³He will bless those who fear the Lord, *both small and great together.

¹⁴May the Lord increase you more and more, *you and your children after you.

¹⁵May you be blessed by the Lord, *the maker of heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heaven of heavens is the Lord’s, *but he entrusted the earth to its peoples.

¹⁷The dead do not praise the Lord, *nor all those who go down into silence;

¹⁸But we will bless the Lord, *from this time forth for evermore. Hallelujah!
