Psalm 115
To Your Name Be the Glory
(Psalms 135:1–21)
¹ Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
² Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
³ Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
⁴ Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
⁵ They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
⁶ they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
⁷ they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.1
⁸ Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
⁹ O Israel,2 trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
¹¹ You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
¹² The LORD is mindful of 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— small and great alike.
¹⁴ May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
¹⁵ May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
¹⁶ The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
¹⁷ It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
¹⁸ But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!3
