Psalm 115

New International Version

Psalm 115^(A)

¹Not to us, Lord, not to us
but to your name be the glory,^(B)
because of your love and faithfulness.^(C)

²Why do the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”^(D)
³Our God is in heaven;^(E)
    he does whatever pleases him.^(F)
⁴But their idols are silver and gold,^(G)
    made by human hands.^(H)
⁵They have mouths, but cannot speak,^(I)
    eyes, but cannot see.
⁶They have ears, but cannot hear,
    noses, but cannot smell.
⁷They have hands, but cannot feel,
    feet, but cannot walk,
    nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
⁸Those who make them will be like them,
    and so will all who trust in them.

⁹All you Israelites, trust^(J) in the Lord—
    he is their help and shield.
¹⁰House of Aaron,^(K) trust in the Lord—
    he is their help and shield.
¹¹You who fear him,^(L) trust in the Lord—
    he is their help and shield.

¹²The Lord remembers^(M) us and will bless us:^(N)
    He will bless his people Israel,
    he will bless the house of Aaron,
¹³he will bless those who fear^(O) the Lord—
    small and great alike.

¹⁴May the Lord cause you to flourish,^(P)
both you and your children.
¹⁵May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven^(Q) and earth.

¹⁶The highest heavens belong to the Lord,^(R)
    but the earth he has given^(S) to mankind.
¹⁷It is not the dead^(T) who praise the Lord,
    those who go down to the place of silence;
¹⁸it is we who extol the Lord,^(U)
    both now and forevermore.^(V)

Praise the Lord.^[a]^(W)

⁹For this reason, since the day we heard about you,^(A) we have not stopped praying for you.^(B) We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will^(C) through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,^[a]^(D) ¹⁰so that you may live a life worthy^(E) of the Lord and please him^(F) in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,^(G) ¹¹being strengthened with all power^(H) according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,^(I) ¹²and giving joyful thanks to the Father,^(J) who has qualified you^[b] to share in the inheritance^(K) of his holy people in the kingdom of light.^(L) ¹³For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness^(M) and brought us into the kingdom^(N) of the Son he loves,^(O) ¹⁴in whom we have redemption,^(P) the forgiveness of sins.^(Q)
