Psalms 115

1Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but give glory to your name because of your steadfast love, because of your faithfulness.

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

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

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

5They have mouths, but they do not speak; eyes, but they do not see.

6They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.

7They have hands, but do not touch; feet, but do not walk; they make no sound in their throats.

8Those who make them will be like them, as will 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 your help and your shield.

12Yahweh has remembered us; he will bless; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

13He will bless those who fear Yahweh, the small together with the great.

14May Yahweh give increase to you—to you and to your children.

15You are blessed by Yahweh, the Maker of heaven and earth.

16The heavens are Yahweh's heavens, but the earth he has given to the sons of man.

17The dead do not praise Yah, nor do any who go down into silence.

18But we will bless Yah from now and forever. Praise Yah!
