Psalm 115 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Heathen Idols Contrasted with the LORD.

Psa 115:1

Not to us, LORD, not to us,

But to Your name give glory,

Because of Your mercy, because of Your [fn]truth.

Psa 115:2

Why should the nations say,

“Where, then, is their God?”

Psa 115:3

But our God is in the heavens;

He does whatever He pleases.

Psa 115:4

Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of human hands.

Psa 115:5

They have mouths, but they cannot speak;

They have eyes, but they cannot see;

Psa 115:6

They have ears, but they cannot hear;

They have noses, but they cannot smell;

Psa 115:7

[fn]They have hands, but they cannot feel;

[fn]They have feet, but they cannot walk;

They cannot make a sound with their throat.

Psa 115:8

Those who make them [fn]will become like them,

Everyone who trusts in them.

Psa 115:9

Israel, trust in the LORD;

He is their help and their shield.

Psa 115:10

House of Aaron, trust in the LORD;

He is their help and their shield.

Psa 115:11

You who [fn]fear the LORD, trust in the LORD;

He is their help and their shield.

Psa 115:12

The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us.

He will bless the house of Israel;

He will bless the house of Aaron.

Psa 115:13

He will bless those who [fn]fear the LORD,

The small together with the great.

Psa 115:14

May the LORD increase you,

You and your children.

Psa 115:15

May you be blessed of the LORD,

Maker of heaven and earth.

Psa 115:16

The heavens are the heavens of the LORD,

But the earth He has given to the sons of mankind.

Psa 115:17

The dead do not praise [fn]the LORD,

Nor do any who go down into silence;

Psa 115:18

But as for us, we will bless [fn]the LORD

From this time and forever.

[fn]Praise [fn]the LORD!
