Psalm 115

 
Trusting God is the central theme of Psalm 115. He rules from heaven above and all the various gods of this world are impotent by comparison. So put your trust in him, Israel. In Yahweh you will find protection and blessing.

To you Lord alone, must glory be given
For your faithfulness and love;
While other gods dwell here below
Your reign’s in heaven above.
 
Those gods have mouths but cannot speak           
Ears but cannot hear;
Those who make them, become jusr like them
No need those gods to fear.
 
Trust in the Lord, you people of Israel                      
He is your helper and shield;
May the house of Aaron, especially the priests
Honor him, no sin concealed
 
The Lord won’t forget to bless his own          
The great and also the small;
May the Lord make us flourish, our children as well
May his blessing rest on us all.
 
The heavens above belong to the Lord           
But the earth has been given to us;
The dead are not able to praise the Lord
That is our sacred trust
