115:1  Lord, you should receive the honor, not us. The honor belongs to you because of your faithful love and loyalty.
115:2  Why should the nations wonder where our God is?
115:3  Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants.
115:4  The “gods” of those nations are only statues that some human made from gold and silver.
115:5  Those statues have mouths, but cannot talk. They have eyes, but cannot see.
115:6  They have ears, but cannot hear. They have noses, but cannot smell.
115:7  They have hands, but cannot feel. They have feet, but cannot walk. No sounds come from their throats.
115:8  The people who make and trust in those statues will become like them!
115:9  People of Israel, trust in the Lord! He is your strength and shield.
115:10  Aaron’s family, trust in the Lord! He is your strength and shield.
115:11  Followers of the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is your strength and shield.
115:12  The Lord remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless Israel. He will bless Aaron’s family.
115:13  The Lord will bless his followers, great and small.
115:14  May the Lord give more and more to you and to your children.
115:15  May you receive blessings from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
115:16  Heaven belongs to the Lord, but he gave the earth to people.
115:17  The dead don’t praise him. Those in the grave don’t praise the Lord.
115:18  But we will praise the Lord now and forever! Praise the Lord!
