Psalm 115:1-8

Easy-to-Read Version

115 Lord, you should receive the honor, not us.
    The honor belongs to you
    because of your faithful love and loyalty.
² Why should the nations wonder
    where our God is?
³ Our God is in heaven,
    and he does whatever he wants.
⁴ The “gods” of those nations are only statues
    that some human made from gold and silver.
⁵ Those statues have mouths, but cannot talk.
    They have eyes, but cannot see.
⁶ They have ears, but cannot hear.
    They have noses, but cannot smell.
⁷ They have hands, but cannot feel.
    They have feet, but cannot walk.
    No sounds come from their throats.
⁸ The people who make and trust in those statues
    will become like them!
