115:1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory because of your kindness and faithfulness.
115:2 Why should the nations ask, “Where is their God?”
115:3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.
115:4 Their idols are merely silver and gold, the work of human hands.
115:5 They have mouths but they cannot speak; they have eyes but they cannot see.
115:6 They have ears but they cannot hear; they have noses but they cannot smell.
115:7 They have hands but they cannot feel; they have feet but they cannot walk; their throats can emit no sound.
115:8 Those who make them end up like them, as do all who place their trust in them.
115:9 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord; he is their help and their shield.
115:10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord; he is their help and their shield.
115:11 Those who fear the Lord trust in the Lord; he is their help and their shield.
115:12 The Lord will be mindful of us and bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
115:13 He will bless those who fear the Lord, the small no less than the great.
115:14 May the Lord cause you to increase, both you and your children.
115:15 May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
115:16 The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to humanity.
115:17 It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who sink into silence.
115:18 It is we who bless the Lord from this time forward and forevermore. Alleluia.
