Psalms 115
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1LORD, you should receive the honor, not us. The honor belongs to you because of your faithful love and loyalty.
- 2Why should the nations wonder where our God is?
- 3Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants.
- 4The “gods” of those nations are only statues that some human made from gold and silver.
- 5Those statues have mouths, but cannot talk. They have eyes, but cannot see.
- 6They have ears, but cannot hear. They have noses, but cannot smell.
- 7They have hands, but cannot feel. They have feet, but cannot walk. No sounds come from their throats.
- 8The people who make and trust in those statues will become like them!
- 9People of Israel, trust in the LORD! He is your strength and shield.
- 10Aaron’s family, trust in the LORD! He is your strength and shield.
- 11Followers of the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is your strength and shield.
- 12The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless Israel. He will bless Aaron’s family.
- 13The LORD will bless his followers, great and small.
- 14May the LORD give more and more to you and to your children.
- 15May you receive blessings from the LORD,[1] who made heaven and earth.
- 16Heaven belongs to the LORD, but he gave the earth to people.
