Contraste entre los ídolos y el Señor

115 No a nosotros, Señor, no a nosotros(A),
sino a tu nombre da gloria(B),
por tu misericordia, por tu fidelidad[a].
¿Por qué han de decir las naciones(C):
¿Dónde está ahora su Dios(D)?
Nuestro Dios está en los cielos(E);
Él hace lo que le place(F).
(G)Los ídolos de ellos son plata y oro(H),
obra de manos de hombre(I).
Tienen boca, y no hablan(J);
tienen ojos, y no ven;
tienen oídos, y no oyen;
tienen nariz, y no huelen;
tienen[b] manos, y no palpan;
tienen[c] pies, y no caminan;
no emiten sonido alguno con su garganta.
Se volverán[d] como ellos, los que los hacen,
y todos los que en ellos confían(K).

Oh Israel(L), confía en el Señor(M);
Él es tu[e] ayuda y tu[f] escudo(N).
10 Oh casa de Aarón(O), confiad en el Señor;
Él es vuestra[g] ayuda y vuestro[h] escudo.
11 Los que teméis[i] al Señor(P), confiad en el Señor;
Él es vuestra[j] ayuda y vuestro[k] escudo.
12 El Señor se ha acordado de nosotros(Q); Él nos bendecirá;
bendecirá a la casa de Israel;
bendecirá a la casa de Aarón.
13 El bendecirá a los que temen[l] al Señor(R),
tanto a pequeños como a grandes(S).
14 El Señor os prospere[m](T),
a vosotros y a vuestros hijos.
15 Benditos seáis del[n] Señor,
que hizo los cielos y la tierra(U).

16 Los cielos son los cielos del Señor(V);
pero la tierra la ha dado a los hijos de los hombres(W).
17 Los muertos no alaban al Señor[o](X),
ni ninguno de los que descienden al silencio(Y).
18 Pero nosotros bendeciremos al Señor[p](Z)
desde ahora y para siempre.
¡Aleluya[q]!

Psalm 115

Glory to God Alone

Not to us, Lord, not to us,
but to your name give glory
because of your faithful love, because of your truth.(A)
Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?” (B)
Our God is in heaven
and does whatever he pleases.(C)

Their idols are silver and gold,
made by human hands.(D)
They have mouths but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
They have ears but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.(E)
They have hands but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk.(F)
They cannot make a sound with their throats.(G)
Those who make them are[a] just like them,
as are all who trust in them.(H)

Israel,[b] trust in the Lord!(I)
He is their help and shield.(J)
10 House of Aaron, trust in the Lord!(K)
He is their help and shield.(L)
11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!(M)
He is their help and shield.
12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron;(N)
13 he will bless those who fear the Lord
small and great alike.(O)

14 May the Lord add to your numbers,
both yours and your children’s.(P)
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.(Q)
16 The heavens are the Lord’s,[c]
but the earth he has given to the human race.(R)
17 It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
nor any of those descending into the silence of death.(S)
18 But we will bless the Lord,
both now and forever.(T)
Hallelujah!

  1. 115:8 Or May those who make them become
  2. 115:9 Some Hb mss, LXX, Syr read House of Israel
  3. 115:16 Lit the Lord’s heavens

115 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

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

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

They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

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.
