Psalms 115

To Your Name Give Glory

1  a Not to us, O  Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
b for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
 2  Why should the nations say,
c “Where is their God?”
 3  d Our God is in the heavens;
e he does all that he pleases.
 4  f Their idols are silver and gold,
g the work of human hands.
 5 They have mouths h but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
 6 They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
 7 They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
 8  i Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
 9  O j Israel, ▼
▼ Masoretic Text; many Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac  O house of Israel
 l trust in the  Lord!
He is their m help and their shield.
 10 O n house of Aaron, trust in the  Lord!
He is their help and o their shield.
 11 You p who fear the  Lord, trust in the  Lord!
He is their help and their shield.
 12  The  Lord has remembered us; he will bless us;
he will bless q the house of Israel;
he will bless r the house of Aaron;
 13 he will s bless those who fear the  Lord,
t both the small and the great.
 14  May the  Lord u give you increase,
you and your children!
 15 May v you be blessed by the  Lord,
w who made heaven and earth!
 16  The heavens are the  Lord’s heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of man.
 17  x The dead do not praise the  Lord,
nor do any who go down into y silence.
 18 But z we will bless the  Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
aa Praise the  Lord!
