PSALM 115 (NIV)
- Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
- Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?"
- Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
- But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
- They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
- they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell;
- they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
- Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
- O house of Israel, trust in the Lord - he is their help and shield.
- O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord - for he is their help and shield.
- You who fear him, trust in the Lord - for he is their help and shield.
- The Lord remembers us and will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron,
- he will bless those who fear the Lord - small and great alike.
- May the Lord make you increase, both you and your children.
- May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
- The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to man.
- It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to silence;
- it is we who extol the Lord, both now and forevermore. Praise the Lord.
