Psalm 115
International Standard Version
The Impotence of Idols
115 Not to us, Lord, not to us,
but to your name be given glory
on account of your gracious love and faithfulness.
2 Why should the nations ask
“Where now is their God?”
3 when our God is in the heavens
and he does whatever he desires?
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
crafted by human hands.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak;
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 touch;
feet, but cannot walk;
they cannot even groan with their throats.
8 Those who craft them will become like them,
as will all those who trust in them.
9 Israel, trust in the Lord!
He is their helper and shield.
10 House of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
He is their helper and shield.
11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is their helper and shield.
12 The Lord remembers and blesses us.
He will indeed bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the Lord,
both the important and the insignificant together.
14 May the Lord add to your numbers—
to you and to your descendants.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
who made the heavens and the earth.
16 The highest heavens[a] belong to the Lord,
but he gave the earth to human beings.
17 Neither can the dead praise the Lord,
nor those who go down into the silence of death.[b]
18 But we will bless the Lord
from now to eternity.
Hallelujah!

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
115 Huwag sa amin, Oh Panginoon, huwag sa amin, kundi sa iyong pangalan ay magbigay kang karangalan, dahil sa iyong kagandahang-loob, at dahil sa iyong katotohanan.
2 Bakit sasabihin ng mga bansa, Saan nandoon ngayon ang kanilang Dios?
3 Nguni't ang aming Dios ay nasa mga langit: kaniyang ginagawa ang kaniyang ibigin.
4 Ang kanilang mga diosdiosan ay pilak at ginto, yari ng mga kamay ng mga tao.
5 Sila'y may mga bibig, nguni't sila'y hindi nangagsasalita; mga mata'y mayroon sila, nguni't hindi sila nangakakakita;
6 Sila'y may mga tainga, nguni't hindi sila nangakakarinig; mga ilong ay mayroon sila, nguni't hindi sila nangakakaamoy;
7 Mayroon silang mga kamay, nguni't hindi sila nangakatatangan; mga paa ay mayroon sila, nguni't hindi sila nangakalalakad; ni nangagsasalita man sila sa kanilang ngalangala.
8 Ang nagsisigawa sa kanila ay magiging gaya nila; Oo, bawa't tumitiwala sa kanila.
9 Oh Israel, tumiwala ka sa Panginoon: siya'y kanilang saklolo at kanilang kalasag.
10 Oh sangbahayan ni Aaron, magsitiwala kayo sa Panginoon: siya'y kanilang saklolo at kanilang kalasag.
11 Kayong nangatatakot sa Panginoon, magsitiwala kayo sa Panginoon; siya'y kanilang saklolo at kanilang kalasag.
12 Inalaala tayo ng Panginoon; kaniyang pagpapalain tayo: kaniyang pagpapalain ang sangbahayan ni Israel, kaniyang pagpapalain ang sangbahayan ni Aaron.
13 Kaniyang pagpapalain ang nangatatakot sa Panginoon, ang mababa at gayon ang mataas.
14 Palalaguin kayo ng Panginoon ng higit at higit, kayo at ang inyong mga anak.
15 Pinagpala kayo ng Panginoon, na gumawa ng langit at lupa.
16 Ang mga langit ay mga langit ng Panginoon; nguni't ang lupa ay kaniyang ibinigay sa mga anak ng mga tao.
17 Ang patay ay hindi pumupuri sa Panginoon, ni sinomang nabababa sa katahimikan;
18 Nguni't aming pupurihin ang Panginoon mula sa panahong ito hanggang sa walang hanggan. Purihin ninyo ang Panginoon.
Psalm 115
King James Version
115 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou 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 Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord hath 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 them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
14 The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.
