To Your Name Be the Glory

1 Not to us, LORD, not to us, But to your name give glory, For your lovingkindness, and for your truth's sake. 2 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?" 3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands. 5 They have mouths, but they don't speak; They have eyes, but they don't see; 6 They have ears, but they don't hear; They have noses, but they don't smell; 7 They have hands, but they don't feel; They have feet, but they don't walk; Neither do they speak through their throat. 8 Those who make them will be like them; Yes, everyone who trusts in them. 9 Yisra'el, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. 10 House of Aharon, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. 11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. 12 The LORD remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Yisra'el. He will bless the house of Aharon. 13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, Both small and great. 14 May the LORD increase you more and more, You and your children. 15 Blessed are you by the LORD, Who made heaven and eretz. 16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; But the eretz has he given to the children of men. 17 The dead don't praise the LORD, Neither any who go down into silence; 18 But we will bless the LORD, From this time forth and forevermore.

Not to us, Lord, not to us

but to your name be the glory,

because of your love and faithfulness.

Psalm 115:1

[kjvpsalms]

Psalm 115

1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy Name give glory, for Thy mercy,  and  for Thy truth’s sake.

2 Wherefore should the heathen say, “Where  is  now their God?”

3 But our God  is  in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.

4 Their idols  are  silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8 They that make them are like unto them;  so is  every one that trusteth in them.

9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: He  is  their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: He  is  their help and their shield.

11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: He  is  their help and their shield.

12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: He will bless  us;  He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless them that fear the LORD,  both  small and great.

14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

15 Ye  are  blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

16 The heaven,  even  the heavens,  are  the LORD’s: but the earth hath He given to the children of men.

17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.

1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth.

2 Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?”

3 But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.

4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;

6 They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell;

7 They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat.

8 Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them.

9 O Israel, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

13 He will bless those who fear the Lord, Both small and great.

14 May the Lord give you increase more and more, You and your children.

15 May you be blessed by the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor any who go down into silence.

18 But we will bless the Lord From this time forth and forevermore.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 115 is written as a liturgical prayer. Three times in verses 9-11 there is an exhortation to trust in the LORD because the LORD offers help and protection. When have you experienced God’s help and protection? Verses 12 and 13 serve as a response to verses 9-11. How do these verses express trust in the LORD?
