Psalms 115 (EHV)



See series: Through My Bible

¹ Not to us, O Lord, not to us,

but to your name give glory,

because of your mercy,

because of your truth.

² Why should the nations say,

“So where is their God now?”

³ In fact, our God is in the heavens.

He does everything that pleases him.

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

⁵ They have a mouth, but they do not speak.

They have eyes, but they do not see.

⁶ They have ears, but they do not hear.

They have a nose, but they do not smell.

⁷ Their hands—they do not even feel.

Their feet—they do not even walk around.

They do not even make a sound with their throats.

⁸ Those who make them will be like them,

and so will all who trust in them.

⁹ Israel, trust in the Lord—

he is their help and their shield.

¹⁰ House of Aaron, trust in the Lord—

he is their help and their shield.

¹¹ You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord—

he is their help and their shield.

¹² The Lord remembers us. He will bless.

He will bless the house of Israel.

He will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³ He will bless those who fear the Lord—

the small with the great.

¹⁴ May the Lord add blessings to you,

to you and to your children.

¹⁵ May you be blessed by the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

¹⁶ The heavens are heavens for the Lord,

but the earth he gave to the children of Adam.

¹⁷ It is not the dead who praise the Lord, ^[1]

nor any of those who go down to silence,

¹⁸ but we are the ones who bless the Lord, ^[2]

    from now to eternity.

Praise the Lord. ^[3]
