115:1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth. |
115:2 Why should the nations say, " Where, now, does their God exist?" |
115:3 But our God resides in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases. |
115:4 Their idols consist of silver and gold, The work of man's hands. |
115:5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see; |
115:6 They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell; |
115:7 They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat. |
115:8 Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them. |
115:9 O Israel, trust in the LORD; He helps them and protects them as a shield. |
115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He helps them and protects them. |
115:11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He helps them and protects them like a shield. |
115:12 The LORD has had us in mind; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. |
115:13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, The small together with the great. |
115:14 May the LORD give you increase, You and your children. |
115:15 May you receive blessings from the LORD, Maker of heaven and earth. |
115:16 The heavens belong to the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of men. |
115:17 The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor do any who go down into silence; |
115:18 But as for us, we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forever. Praise the LORD! |
