115:1 Lord, you are the one who deserves that people praise you. They should praise only you, not us! Because you love us with a faithful love, and you always do what you have promised.
115:2 Why should other nations say about us, ‘Where is their God?’
115:3 We know that our God is in heaven. He does whatever he wants to do.
115:4 Those people's idols are made from silver and gold. Yes, human hands make them!
115:5 Each idol has a mouth, but it cannot speak! It has eyes, but it cannot see!
115:6 It has ears, but it cannot hear! It has a nose, but it cannot smell!
115:7 It has hands, but it cannot feel anything! It has feet, but it cannot walk! They cannot make a sound!
115:8 The people that make those idols will become useless like them. The same is true for everyone who trusts their idols to help them.
115:9 People of Israel, trust in the Lord. He is the one who helps you and keeps you safe.
115:10 Aaron's family, trust in the Lord. He is the one who helps you and keeps you safe.
115:11 Everyone who serves the Lord, trust in the Lord. He is the one who helps you and keeps you safe.
115:12 The Lord will remember us, and he will bless us. He will bless Israel's people. He will bless Aaron's family.
115:13 He will bless everybody who serves him, whether they are important people or not.
115:14 I pray that the Lord will give you many children, and your children too!
115:15 I pray that the Lord will bless you all. He is the one who made the whole universe.
115:16 The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to us people.
115:17 Dead people cannot praise the Lord. In their graves, they are unable to speak.
115:18 But we will praise the Lord, now and for ever. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
