Psalm 115

Not to us, Jehovah, not to us,
But to your name goes the glory,
Because of your devoted love
And because of your faithfulness.

Why should the foreign nations ask,
“What, pray, has happened to your god?”
But our god is in the heavens
And he does whatever pleases him.
Their idols are of silver and gold
And are fashioned by the hands of man.
They possess mouths, but cannot speak.
They possess eyes, but cannot see.
They possess ears, but cannot hear.
They possesss noses, but cannot smell.
They possess hands, but cannot feel
They possess feet, but cannot walk.
Nor can they even clear their throats.
Those who make them will become like them,
As will all who believe in them.

All you Israelites, trust Jehovah;
He is your helper and protector.
House of Aaron, trust Jehovah;
He is your helper and protector.
All who revere him, trust Jehovah;
He is your helper and protector.

Jehovah will remember to bless us,
He will bless the people of Israel,
And he will bless the family of Aaron.
He will bless those who revere Jehovah,
Whether they be lowly or if they be great.

May Jehovah bring prosperity
Both to you and to your children.
May you be blessed by Jehovah,
Creator of heaven and earth.

The high heavens belong to Jehovah,
But the earth he has given to mankind.
The dead cannot give praise to Jehovah,
Nor any who descend into silence.
It is we who give praise to Jehovah,
Now and forever more.  Praise Jehovah!
