📖 Psalms 115
-
1
Not to us, O LORD, not to us! But to your name bring honor, for the sake of your loyal love and faithfulness.
-
2
Why should the nations say,“Where is their God?”
-
3
Our God is in heaven! He does whatever he pleases!
-
4
Their idols are made of silver and gold– they are man-made.
-
5
They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,
-
6
ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell,
-
7
hands, but cannot touch, feet, but cannot walk. They cannot even clear their throats.
-
8
Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them.
-
9
O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their deliverer and protector.
-
10
O family of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their deliverer and protector.
-
11
You loyal followers of the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their deliverer and protector.
-
12
The LORD takes notice of us, he will bless– he will bless the family of Israel, he will bless the family of Aaron.
-
13
He will bless his loyal followers, both young and old.
-
14
May he increase your numbers, yours and your children’s!
-
15
May you be blessed by the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth!
-
16
The heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to mankind.
-
17
The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any of those who descend into the silence of death.
-
18
But we will praise the LORD now and forevermore. Praise the LORD!
