Psalm 115

¹ Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.

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

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

⁴Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of men’s hands.

⁵They have mouths, but they don’t speak.
They have eyes, but they don’t see.

⁶They have ears, but they don’t hear.
They have noses, but they don’t smell.

⁷They have hands, but they don’t feel.
They have feet, but they don’t walk,
neither do they speak through their throat.

⁸Those who make them will be like them;
yes, 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 their help and their shield.

¹²Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel.
He will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³He will bless those who fear Yahweh,
both small and great.

¹⁴May Yahweh increase you more and more,
you and your children.

¹⁵Blessed are you by Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens,
but he has given the earth to the children of men.

¹⁷The dead don’t praise Yah,
neither any who go down into silence;

¹⁸but we will bless Yah,
from this time forward and forever more.

Hallelujah!
