115:1  Lord, may glory be given to you, not to us. You are loving and faithful.
115:2  Why do the nations ask, “Where is their God?”
115:3  Our God is in heaven. He does anything he wants to do.
115:4  But the statues of their gods are made out of silver and gold. They are made by human hands.
115:5  They have mouths but can’t speak. They have eyes but can’t see.
115:6  They have ears but can’t hear. They have noses but can’t smell.
115:7  They have hands but can’t feel. They have feet but can’t walk. They have throats but can’t say anything.
115:8  Those who make statues of gods will be like them. So will all those who trust in them.
115:9  All you Israelites, trust in the Lord. He helps you like a shield that keeps you safe.
115:10  Priests of Aaron, trust in the Lord. He helps you like a shield that keeps you safe.
115:11  You who have respect for the Lord, trust in him. He helps you like a shield that keeps you safe.
115:12  The Lord remembers us and will bless us. He will bless Israel, his people. He will bless the priests of Aaron.
115:13  The Lord will bless those who have respect for him. He will bless important and unimportant people alike.
115:14  May the Lord give you many children. May he give them to you and to your children after you.
115:15  May the Lord bless you. He is the Maker of heaven and earth.
115:16  The highest heavens belong to the Lord. But he has given the earth to human beings.
115:17  Dead people don’t praise the Lord. Those who lie quietly in the grave don’t praise him.
115:18  But we who are alive praise the Lord, both now and forever. Praise the Lord.
