Psalm 115 1Not to us, YHWH, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your lovingkindness, and for your truth’s sake. 2Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” 3But our God is in the heavens. Hᴇ does whatever ʜᴇ pleases.

 

4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. 5They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see. 6They have ears, but they can’t hear. They have noses, but they can’t smell. 7They have hands, but they can’t feel. They have feet, but they can’t walk, nor can they speak through their throat. 8Those who make them will be like them, as will everyone who trusts in them. 9Israel, trust in YHWH! Hᴇ is their help and their shield. 10House of Aaron, y’all are to trust in YHWH! He is their help and their shield. 11Those fear YHWH, y’all are to trust in YHWH! Hᴇ is their help and their shield. 12YHWH remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron. 13Hᴇ will bless those who fear YHWH, both small and great. 14May YHWH increase y’all more and more, y’all and your* children. 15May y’all be blessed by YHWH, who made heaven and earth. 16The heavens are YHWH’s heavens, but ʜᴇ has given the earth to the children of humankind. 17It is not the dead who praise YHWH, nor any who go down into silence, 18but we will bless YHWH, from this time forward and forever more. Y’all praise YHWH!
