Psalm 115:1–18

¹Not ^aunto us, O Lord, not unto us,

But to Your name give glory,

Because of Your mercy,

Because of Your truth.

²Why should the ¹Gentiles say,

^b“So where is their God?”

^3cBut our God is in heaven;

He does whatever He pleases.

^4dTheir idols are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

⁵They have mouths, but they do not speak;

Eyes they have, but they do not see;

⁶They have ears, but they do not hear;

Noses they have, but they do not smell;

⁷They have hands, but they do not handle;

Feet they have, but they do not walk;

Nor do they mutter through their throat.

^8eThose who make them are like them;

So is everyone who trusts in them.

^9fO Israel, trust in the Lord;

^gHe is their help and their shield.

¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord;

He is their help and their shield.

¹¹You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;

He is their help and their shield.

¹²The Lord ²has been mindful of us;

He will bless us;

He will bless the house of Israel;

He will bless the house of Aaron.

^13hHe will bless those who fear the Lord,

Both small and great.

¹⁴May the Lord give you increase more and more,

You and your children.

¹⁵May you be ⁱblessed by the Lord,

^jWho made heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s;

But the earth He has given to the children of men.

^17kThe dead do not praise the Lord,

Nor any who go down into silence.

^18lBut we will bless the Lord

From this time forth and forevermore.

Praise the Lord!
