Psalm 115Glory to God Alone
|
|
|
|
1. Not to us, Lord, not to us,
|
|
but to your name give glory
|
|
because of your faithful love, because of your truth.
|
|
|
|
2. Why should the nations say,
|
|
"Where is their God?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Our God is in heaven
|
|
and does whatever he pleases.
|
|
|
|
4. Their idols are silver and gold,
|
|
made by human hands.
|
|
|
|
5. They have mouths but cannot speak,
|
|
eyes, but cannot see.
|
|
|
|
6. They have ears but cannot hear,
|
|
noses, but cannot smell.
|
|
|
|
7. They have hands but cannot feel,
|
|
feet, but cannot walk.
|
|
They cannot make a sound with their throats.
|
|
|
|
8. Those who make them are just like them,
|
|
as are all who trust in them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Israel, trust in the Lord!
|
|
He is their help and shield.
|
|
|
|
10. 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 remembers us and 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 add to your numbers,
|
|
both yours and your children's.
|
|
|
|
15. May you be blessed by the Lord,
|
|
the Maker of heaven and earth.
|
|
|
|
16. The heavens are the Lord's,
|
|
but the earth he has given to the human race.
|
|
|
|
17. It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
|
|
nor any of those descending into the silence of death.
|
|
|
|
18. But we will bless the Lord,
|
|
both now and forever.
|
|
Hallelujah!
