# Chapter 115
|
||
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! |
