Psalm 115

The Message Bible MSG

1 Not for our sake, God, no, not for our sake, but for your name's sake, show your glory. Do it on account of your merciful love, do it on account of your faithful ways.

2 Do it so none of the nations can say, "Where now, oh where is their God?"

3 Our God is in heaven doing whatever he wants to do.

4 Their gods are metal and wood, handmade in a basement shop:

5 Carved mouths that can't talk, painted eyes that can't see,

6 Tin ears that can't hear, molded noses that can't smell,

7 Hands that can't grasp, feet that can't walk or run, throats that never utter a sound.

8 Those who make them have become just like them, have become just like the gods they trust.

9 But you, Israel: put your trust in God! - trust your Helper! trust your Ruler!

10 Clan of Aaron, trust in God! - trust your Helper! trust your Ruler!

11 You who fear God, trust in God! - trust your Helper! trust your Ruler!

12 O God, remember us and bless us, bless the families of Israel and Aaron.

13 And let God bless all who fear God - bless the small, bless the great.

14 Oh, let God enlarge your families - giving growth to you, growth to your children.

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

16 The heaven of heavens is for God, but he put us in charge of the earth.

17 Dead people can't praise God - not a word to be heard from those buried in the ground.

18 But we bless God, oh yes - we bless him now, we bless him always! Hallelujah!

New Living Translation NLT

1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.

2 Why let the nations say, “Where is their God?”

3 Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes.

4 Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.

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

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

7 They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound.

8 And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.

9 O Israel, trust the LORD ! He is your helper and your shield.

10 O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the LORD ! He is your helper and your shield.

11 All you who fear the LORD, trust the LORD ! He is your helper and your shield.

12 The LORD remembers us and will bless us. He will bless the people of Israel and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, both great and lowly.

14 May the LORD richly bless both you and your children.

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

16 The heavens belong to the LORD, but he has given the earth to all humanity.

17 The dead cannot sing praises to the LORD, for they have gone into the silence of the grave.

18 But we can praise the LORD both now and forever! Praise the LORD !
