115:1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.
115:2 Why let the nations say, "Where is their God?"
115:3 Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes.
115:4 Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.
115:5 They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see.
115:6 They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell.
115:7 They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound.
115:8 And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.
115:9 O Israel, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.
115:10 O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.
115:11 All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD! He is your helper and your shield.
115:12 The LORD remembers us and will bless us. He will bless the people of Israel and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
115:13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, both great and lowly.
115:14 May the LORD richly bless both you and your children.
115:15 May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
115:16 The heavens belong to the LORD, but he has given the earth to all humanity.
115:17 The dead cannot sing praises to the LORD, for they have gone into the silence of the grave.
115:18 But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD!
