Psalm 115
There is only one true God #115:1 This psalm teaches us that there is only one God. All other gods are made by people, and they have no power to help us. Verses 4-8 tell us about idols. Idols are false gods. People that trust idols to help them will become useless like them.
1 Lord, you are the one
who deserves that people praise you.
They should praise only you, not us!
Because you love us with a faithful love,
and you always do what you have promised.
2Why should other nations say about us,
‘Where is their God?’
3We know that our God is in heaven.
He does whatever he wants to do.
4Those people's idols are made from silver and gold.
Yes, human hands make them!
5Each idol has a mouth,
but it cannot speak!
It has eyes, but it cannot see!
6It has ears, but it cannot hear!
It has a nose, but it cannot smell!
7It has hands, but it cannot feel anything!
It has feet, but it cannot walk!
They cannot make a sound!
8The people that make those idols
will become useless like them.
The same is true for everyone
who trusts their idols to help them.
9People of Israel,
trust in the Lord.
He is the one who helps you
and keeps you safe.
10Aaron's family,
trust in the Lord. #115:10 Aaron's family were the priests.
He is the one who helps you
and keeps you safe.
11Everyone who serves the Lord,
trust in the Lord.
He is the one who helps you
and keeps you safe.
12The Lord will remember us,
and he will bless us.
He will bless Israel's people.
He will bless Aaron's family.
13He will bless everybody who serves him,
whether they are important people or not.
14I pray that the Lord will give you many children,
and your children too!
15I pray that the Lord will bless you all.
He is the one who made the whole universe.
16The heavens belong to the Lord,
but he has given the earth to us people.
17Dead people cannot praise the Lord.
In their graves, they are unable to speak.
18But we will praise the Lord,
now and for ever.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
