115 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.

Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:

They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;

They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.

They that make them are like unto them,—every one that confideth in them.

O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

Psalm 115(A)

Not to us, Lord, not to us
    but to your name be the glory,(B)
    because of your love and faithfulness.(C)

Why do the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”(D)
Our God is in heaven;(E)
    he does whatever pleases him.(F)
But their idols are silver and gold,(G)
    made by human hands.(H)
They have mouths, but cannot speak,(I)
    eyes, but cannot see.
They have ears, but cannot hear,
    noses, but cannot smell.
They have hands, but cannot feel,
    feet, but cannot walk,
    nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
Those who make them will be like them,
    and so will all who trust in them.

All you Israelites, trust(J) in the Lord
    he is their help and shield.
