NIV Psalms 115 Chapter
115:1
Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
115:2
Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?"
115:3
Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
115:4
But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
115:5
They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
115:6
they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell;
115:7
they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
115:8
Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
115:9
O house of Israel, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
115:10
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
115:11
You who fear him, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
115:12
The LORD remembers us and will 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-- small and great alike.
115:14
May the LORD make you increase, both you and your children.
115:15
May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
115:16
The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man.
115:17
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, those who go down to silence;
115:18
it is we who extol the LORD, both now and forevermore. Praise the LORD.
