Chapter 115
1 Not to us , LORD , not to us , but to your name give glory , for your loving kindness , and for your truth ’s sake .
2 Why should the nations say, " Where is their God, now ?"
3 But our God is in the heavens . He does whatever he pleases .
4 Their idols are silver and gold , the work of men’s hands .
5 They have mouths , but they don’t speak . They have eyes , but they don’t see .
6 They have ears, but they don’t hear . They have noses, but they don’t smell .
7 They have hands , but they don’t feel . They have feet , but they don’t walk , neither do they speak through their throat .
8 Those who make them will be like them ; yes, everyone who trusts in them .
9 Israel , trust in the LORD ! He is their help and their shield .
10 House of Aaron, trust in the LORD ! He is their help and their shield .
11 You who fear the LORD , trust in the LORD ! He is their help and their shield .
12 The LORD remembers us . He will bless us . He will bless the house of Israel . He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD , both small and great .
14 May the LORD increase you more and more , you and your children .
15 Blessed are you by the LORD , who made heaven and earth .
16 The heavens are the LORD ’s heavens , but he has given the earth to the children of men .
17 The dead don’t praise the LORD , nor any who go down into silence ,
18 but we will bless the LORD , from this time forward and forever more . Praise the LORD !
