Psalms 115 NCV

1. It does not belong to us, Lord. The glory belongs to you because of your love and loyalty.

2. Why do the nations ask, “Where is their God?”

3. Our God is in heaven. He does what he pleases.

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

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

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

7. They have hands, but they cannot feel. They have feet, but they cannot walk. No sounds come from their throats.

8. People who make idols will be like them, and so will those who trust them.

9. Family of Israel, trust the Lord; he is your helper and your protection.

10. Family of Aaron, trust the Lord; he is your helper and your protection.

11. You who respect the Lord should trust him; he is your helper and your protection.

12. The Lord remembers us and will bless us. He will bless the family of Israel; he will bless the family of Aaron.

13. The Lord will bless those who respect him, from the smallest to the greatest.

14. May the Lord give you success, and may he give you and your children success.

15. May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

16. Heaven belongs to the Lord, but he gave the earth to people.

17. Dead people do not praise the Lord; those in the grave are silent.

18. But we will praise the Lord now and forever. Praise the Lord!
