Psalms 115 (NLT)

¹Not to us, O LORD, not to us,but to your name goes all the gloryfor your unfailing love and faithfulness.

²Why let the nations say,“Where is their God?”

³Our God is in the heavens,and he does as he wishes.

⁴Their idols are merely things of silver and gold,shaped by human hands.

⁵They have mouths but cannot speak,and eyes but cannot see.

⁶They have ears but cannot hear,and noses but cannot smell.

⁷They have hands but cannot feel,and feet but cannot walk,and throats but cannot make a sound.

⁸And those who make idols are just like them,as are all who trust in them.

⁹O Israel, trust the LORD!He is your helper and your shield.

¹⁰O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the LORD!He is your helper and your shield.

¹¹All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD!He is your helper and your shield.

¹²The LORD remembers us and will bless us.He will bless the people of Israeland bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

¹³He will bless those who fear the LORD,both great and lowly.

¹⁴May the LORD richly blessboth you and your children.

¹⁵May you be blessed by the LORD,who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heavens belong to the LORD,but he has given the earth to all humanity.

¹⁷The dead cannot sing praises to the LORD,for they have gone into the silence of the grave.

¹⁸But we can praise the LORDboth now and forever! Praise the LORD!
