Psalms 115:1-13 ▼

1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth and faithfulness.

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

3 But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.

4 The idols [of the nations] are silver and gold, The work of man’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;

6 They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell;

7 They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; Nor can they make a sound with their throats.

8 Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them.

9 O Israel, trust and take refuge in the LORD! [Be confident in Him, cling to Him, rely on His word!] He is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.

11 You who [reverently] fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.

12 The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless, He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless those who fear and worship the LORD [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder], Both the small and the great.
