Psalms 115 with the Church Fathers

¹Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness. ²Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” ³Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases. ⁴Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. ⁵They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; ⁶they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell; ⁷they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats. ⁸Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them. ⁹O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. ¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. ¹¹You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. ¹²The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron; ¹³He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike. ¹⁴May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children. ¹⁵May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. ¹⁶The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind. ¹⁷It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence. ¹⁸But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
