Psalm 115

Glory 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. b

2   Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God? ” c

3   Our God is in heaven

and does whatever he pleases. d

4   Their idols are silver and gold,

made by human hands. e

5   They have mouths but cannot speak,

eyes, but cannot see.

6   They have ears but cannot hear,

noses, but cannot smell. f

7   They have hands but cannot feel,

feet, but cannot walk. g

They cannot make a sound with their throats. h

8   Those who make them are D just like them,

as are all who trust in them. i

9   Israel, E trust in the LORD! j

He is their help and shield. k

10   House of Aaron, trust in the LORD! l

He is their help and shield. m

11   You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! n

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; o

13   he will bless those who fear the LORD

small and great alike. p

14   May the LORD add to your numbers,

both yours and your children’s. q

15   May you be blessed by the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth. r

16   The heavens are the LORDS, F

but the earth he has given to the human race. s

17   It is not the dead who praise the LORD,

nor any of those descending into the silence of death. t

18   But we will bless the LORD,

both now and forever. u

Hallelujah!
