Psalm 115

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold,
made by human hands.^(D)
5 They have mouths but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
⁶ They have ears but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.^(E)
7 They have hands but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk.^(F)
They cannot make a sound with their throats.^(G)
8 Those who make them are^[a] just like them,
as are all who trust in them.^(H)

⁹ Israel,^[b] trust in the Lord!^(I)
He is their help and shield.^(J)
10 House of Aaron, trust in the Lord!^(K)
He is their help and shield.^(L)
11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!^(M)
He is their help and shield.
¹² The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron;^(N)
13 he will bless those who fear the Lord—
small and great alike.^(O)

¹⁴ May the Lord add to your numbers,
both yours and your children’s.^(P)
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.^(Q)
16 The heavens are the Lord’s,^[c]
but the earth he has given to the human race.^(R)
17 It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
nor any of those descending into the silence of death.^(S)
18 But we will bless the Lord,
both now and forever.^(T)
Hallelujah!
