PSALM 115
1Not to us, O LORD, not to us
but to Your name give glory
for Your kindness and Your steadfast truth.
2Why should the nations say,
“Where is their god?”
3when our God is in the heavens—
all that He desired He has done.
4Their idols are silver and gold,
the handiwork of man.
5A mouth they have but they do not speak,
eyes they have but they do not see.
6Ears they have but they do not hear,
a nose they have but they do not smell.
7Their hands—but they do not feel;
their feet—but they do not walk;
they make no sound with their throat.
8Like them may be those who make them,
all who trust in them.
9O Israel, trust in the LORD,
their help and their shield is He.
10House of Aaron, O trust in the LORD,
their help and their shield is He.
11You who fear the LORD,
trust in the LORD, their help and their shield is He.
12 The LORD recalls us, may He bless,
may He bless the house of Israel,
may He bless the house of Aaron.
13May He bless those who fear the LORD,
the lesser with the great.
14May the LORD grant you increase,
both you and your children.
15Blessed are you by the LORD,
maker of heaven and earth.
16The heavens are heavens for the LORD,
and the earth He has given to humankind.
17The dead do not praise the LORD
nor all who go down into silence.
18But we will bless Yah
now and forevermore,
hallelujah.
