Psalm 115

The Impotence of Idols and the Greatness of God

¹ Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
   for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness.
² Why should the nations say,
   ‘Where is their God?’

³ Our God is in the heavens;
   he does whatever he pleases.
⁴ Their idols are silver and gold,
   the work of human hands.
⁵ They have mouths, but do not speak;
   eyes, but do not see.
⁶ They have ears, but do not hear;
   noses, but do not smell.
⁷ They have hands, but do not feel;
   feet, but do not walk;
   they make no sound in their throats.
⁸ Those who make them are like them;
   so are all who trust in them.
