Psalm 115
God is alive, idols aren’t
Idols can’t talk
1 We don’t want the honor, LORD.Not us.
You deserve the honor for who you are,
For showing love and devotion to your people.
2 Why do some ask us,
“Where on earth is your God?”
3 Our God is in the heavens above us.
He can do whatever he wants.
4 Their gods are idols of silver and gold,
Made by human hands.
5 Their gods have mouths,
That can’t make a peep.
They have eyes, too,
But can’t see a thing.
6 They have ears.
Can’t hear.
Noses.
Can’t smell.
7 They have hands.
Can’t feel a thing.
Feet.
Can’t walk.
These idols can’t make a sound.
8 Artisans who make lifeless idols
And the people who worship them
Will become as dead as the idols are.
9 People of Israel,
Trust the LORD.
He’ll help you and protect you.
10 Priests descended from Aaron,
Trust the LORD.
He’ll help you and protect you.
11 Those of you who respect the LORD,
Trust him, too.
He’ll help you and protect you.
God’s hasn’t forgotten us
12 The LORD remembers us.He’ll take good care of us all:
All the people of Israel,
All the priests of Aaron,
13 Everyone who respects him,
And people famous or not.
14 May the LORD make you successful,
You as well as your family.
15 May the LORD,
Creator of heaven and earth,
Bless you with his continuing care.
16 The heavens belong to the LORD.
But he gave the earth to us.
17 Dead people can’t praise the LORD.
They can’t sing his praises in a grave.
18 But we can praise the LORD
Now and from now on.
Thank you, LORD.
