Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 115

Not to us, Lord, not to us, 
but to Your name be the glory, 
because of Your love and faithfulness.

Why should the people say, 
“Where is their God?”

Our God is in the heavens; 
He does whatever pleases Him.

Their idols are silver and gold, 
the work of human hands.

They have mouths but cannot speak, 
eyes but cannot see.

They have ears but cannot hear, 
noses but cannot smell.

They have hands but cannot feel, 
feet but cannot walk, 
nor can they make a sound with their throats.

Those who make them will be like them, 
and so will all who trust in them.

O followers of Israel, 
trust in the Lord—
He is your help and your shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord—
He is your help and your shield.

You who revere the Lord, trust in Him—
He is your help and your shield.

The Lord remembers us and will bless us; 
He will bless the followers of Israel, 
He will bless the house of Aaron,

He will bless those who revere the Lord—
both small and great alike.

May the Lord cause you to flourish, 
both you and your children.

May you be blessed by the Lord, 
the Maker of heaven and earth.

The heavens belong to the Lord, 
but the earth He has given to humankind.

The dead do not praise the Lord, 
nor do any who go down in silence.

But we will praise the Lord 
from now and forevermore. 
Praise the Lord!
