Psalms115

To Your Name Give Glory
1115:1 [Isa. 48:11; Ezek. 36:22; Dan. 9:18, 19] Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
115:1 See Ps. 36:5for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

2Why should the nations say,
115:2 [Ex. 32:12; Num. 14:13, 14]; See Ps. 42:3“Where is their God?”
3115:3 See Ps. 11:4Our God is in the heavens;
115:3 Ps. 135:6; Dan. 4:35he does all that he pleases.

4115:4 For ver. 4-8, see Ps. 135:15-18Their idols are silver and gold,
115:4 Deut. 4:28; 2 Kgs. 19:18; Isa. 37:19; Acts 19:26; See Isa. 44:10-20; Jer. 10:3-5the work of human hands.
5They have mouths, 115:5 [Isa. 46:7; Hab. 2:18]but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
6They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
7They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
8115:8 [Isa. 44:9]Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.

9O 115:9 [Ps. 118:2-4; 135:19, 20] Israel,115:9 Masoretic Text; many Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac O house of Israel115:9 Ps. 37:3; 62:8trust in the Lord!
He is their 115:9 Ps. 33:20help and their shield.
10O 115:10 [See ver. 9above] house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and 115:10 See Ps. 3:3their shield.
11You 115:11 Ps. 22:23; 103:11, 13, 17who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.

12The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us;
he will bless 115:12 [Ps. 118:2-4; 135:19, 20]the house of Israel;
he will bless 115:12 [Ps. 118:2-4; 135:19, 20]the house of Aaron;
13he will 115:13 See Ps. 112:1bless those who fear the Lord,
115:13 Jer. 16:6; 31:34both the small and the great.

14May the Lord115:14 Deut. 1:11give you increase,
you and your children!
15May 115:15 See Ruth 2:20you be blessed by the Lord,
115:15 Ps. 121:2; 124:8; 134:3; 146:6; Acts 14:15; Rev. 14:7; [Gen. 1:1; 14:19; Jer. 10:11]who made heaven and earth!

16The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of man.
17115:17 See Ps. 6:5The dead do not praise the Lord,
nor do any who go down into 115:17 See Ps. 31:17silence.
18But 115:18 Ps. 113:2we will bless the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
115:18 See Ps. 104:35Praise the Lord!
