Psalms 115
1 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to Your name give glory; on account of Your mercy, on account of Your truth.2 Why do the nations say, Where is their God now?3 But our God is in Heaven; He has done all that He has pleased.4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of man's hands;5 they have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;6 they have ears, but they do not hear; they have a nose, but they do not smell;7 their hands do not feel; their feet do not walk; they do not mutter through their throat.8 The ones who make them are like them, and everyone trusting in them.
9 O Israel, trust in Jehovah; He is their help and their shield.10 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah; He is their help and their shield.11 Ones fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah; He is their help and their shield.12 Jehovah remembers us; He will bless; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah, the small and the great.14 Jehovah will add on to you; on you and on your sons.15 You are blessed to Jehovah, He who makes heavens and earth.16 The heavens; the heavens are Jehovah's, but He has given the earth to the sons of men.17 The dying do not praise Jehovah, nor all those who go down into silence;18 but we will bless Jehovah, from now on and forever. Praise Jehovah!
