Psalms 115 — FBV

115Verse 1Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to you all glory should be given, because of your trustworthy love and faithfulness.
^{Verse 2}Why should the heathen nations ask, “Where is your God?”
^{Verse 3}Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants.
^{Verse 4}Their idols are just things of silver and gold made by human hands.
^{Verse 5}They have mouths, but can't speak. They have eyes, but can't see.
^{Verse 6}They have ears, but can't hear. They have noses, but can't smell.
^{Verse 7}They have hands, but can't feel. They have feet, but can't walk. No sound comes from their throats.^{+
Verse 8}Those who make idols become just like them, and so does everyone who trusts in them.
^{Verse 9}Israel, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
^{Verse 10}Descendants of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
^{Verse 11}Those who honor the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
^{Verse 12}The Lord keeps us in mind and will be good to us. He will bless Israel, he will bless the descendants of Aaron.
^{Verse 13}The Lord will bless all those who worship him, whoever they are.^{+
Verse 14}May the Lord be good to you, you and your children.
^{Verse 15}May you be blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth.
^{Verse 16}The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to humankind.
^{Verse 17}The dead do not praise the Lord, those who have gone down into the silence of the grave.
^{Verse 18}But we the living will always praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
