Psalms 115

¹Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

²Why should the nations say, “Where is their God, now?”

³But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

⁵They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

⁶They have ears, but they don’t hear. They have noses, but they don’t smell.

⁷They have hands, but they don’t feel. They have feet, but they don’t walk, neither do they speak through their throat.

⁸Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

⁹Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

¹⁰House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

¹¹You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.

¹²Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.

¹⁴May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.

¹⁵Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; but the earth has he given to the children of men.

¹⁷The dead don’t praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence;

¹⁸But we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. Praise Yah!
