Psalm 115

To Your Name Give Glory

115^aNot to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,

^bfor the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

²Why should the nations say,

^c“Where is their God?”

^3dOur God is in the heavens;

^ehe does all that he pleases.

^4fTheir idols are silver and gold,

^gthe work of human hands.

⁵They have mouths, ^hbut do not speak;

eyes, but do not see.

⁶They have ears, but do not hear;

noses, but do not smell.

⁷They have hands, but do not feel;

feet, but do not walk;

and they do not make a sound in their throat.

⁸ⁱThose who make them become like them;

so do all who trust in them.

⁹O ^jIsrael,^{1 k}trust in the Lord!

He is their ^lhelp and their shield.

¹⁰O ^jhouse of Aaron, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and ^mtheir shield.

¹¹You ⁿwho fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

¹²The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us;

he will bless ^othe house of Israel;

he will bless ^othe house of Aaron;

¹³he will ^pbless those who fear the Lord,

^qboth the small and the great.

¹⁴May the Lord ^rgive you increase,

you and your children!

¹⁵May ^syou be blessed by the Lord,

^twho made heaven and earth!

¹⁶The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,

but the earth he has given to the children of man.

^17uThe dead do not praise the Lord,

nor do any who go down into ^vsilence.

¹⁸But ^wwe will bless the Lord

from this time forth and forevermore.

^xPraise the Lord!
