Psalm 115:1-11

Listen to Psalm 115:1-11
1 Não a nós, Senhor, não a nós, mas ao teu nome dá glória, por amor da tua benignidade e da tua verdade.
2 Por que perguntariam as nações: Onde está o seu Deus?
3 Mas o nosso Deus está nos céus; ele faz tudo o que lhe apraz.
4 Os ídolos deles são prata e ouro, obra das mãos do homem.
5 Têm boca, mas não falam; têm olhos, mas não vêem;
6 têm ouvidos, mas não ouvem; têm nariz, mas não cheiram;
7 têm mãos, mas não apalpam; têm pés, mas não andam; nem som algum sai da sua garganta.
8 Semelhantes a eles sejam os que fazem, e todos os que neles confiam.
9 Confia, ó Israel, no Senhor; ele é seu auxílio e seu escudo.
10 Casa de Arão, confia no Senhor; ele é seu auxílio e seu escudo.
11 Vós, os que temeis ao Senhor, confiai no Senhor; ele é seu auxílio e seu escudo.

Psalm 115:1-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 115

This psalm is by the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions, joined to the former, and makes one psalm with it: and Kimchi says, that in some books the psalm does not begin here; but in the best and correct copies of the Hebrew, and in the Targum, it stands a distinct psalm; and the different subject matter or argument shows it to be so. It is ascribed to various persons; by some to Moses and the Israelites, when pursued by Pharaoh: by others to the three companions of Daniel, cast into the fiery furnace: by others to Mordecai and Esther, when Haman distressed the Jews: by others to the heroes at the times of Antiochus and the Maccabees; so Theodoret: by some to Jehoshaphat, when a numerous army came against him; and by others to David, which is more probable; though on what occasion is not easy to say: some have thought it was written by him, when insulted by the Jebusites, 2Sa 5:6. The occasion of it seems to be some distress the church of God was in from the Heathens; and the design of it is to encourage trust and confidence in the Lord; and to excite the saints to give him the glory of all their mercies, and to expose the vanity of idols.
