115 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
    but to your name give glory,
    for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

Why should the nations say,
    “Where is their God, now?”

But our God is in the heavens.
    He does whatever he pleases.

Their idols are silver and gold,
    the work of men’s hands.

They have mouths, but they don’t speak.
    They have eyes, but they don’t see.

They have ears, but they don’t hear.
    They have noses, but they don’t smell.

They have hands, but they don’t feel.
    They have feet, but they don’t walk,
    neither do they speak through their throat.

Those who make them will be like them;
    yes, everyone who trusts in them.

Israel, trust in Yahweh!
    He is their help and their shield.

10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh!
    He is their help and their shield.

11 You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh!
    He is their help and their shield.

12 Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us.
    He will bless the house of Israel.
    He will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless those who fear Yahweh,
    both small and great.

14 May Yahweh increase you more and more,
    you and your children.

15 Blessed are you by Yahweh,
    who made heaven and earth.

16 The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens,
    but he has given the earth to the children of men.

17 The dead don’t praise Yah,
    neither any who go down into silence;

18 but we will bless Yah,
    from this time forward and forever more.
Praise Yah!

Psalm 115

Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
    but to your name goes all the glory
    for your unfailing love and faithfulness.
Why let the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”
Our God is in the heavens,
    and he does as he wishes.
Their idols are merely things of silver and gold,
    shaped by human hands.
They have mouths but cannot speak,
    and eyes but cannot see.
They have ears but cannot hear,
    and noses but cannot smell.
They have hands but cannot feel,
    and feet but cannot walk,
    and throats but cannot make a sound.
And those who make idols are just like them,
    as are all who trust in them.

O Israel, trust the Lord!
    He is your helper and your shield.
10 O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the Lord!
    He is your helper and your shield.
11 All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord!
    He is your helper and your shield.

12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
    He will bless the people of Israel
    and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the Lord,
    both great and lowly.

14 May the Lord richly bless
    both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens belong to the Lord,
    but he has given the earth to all humanity.
17 The dead cannot sing praises to the Lord,
    for they have gone into the silence of the grave.
18 But we can praise the Lord
    both now and forever!

Praise the Lord!
