Morning
Rising
Psalm 115:1-11
Not to us, O Lord, not to us
but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness.
Why do the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever pleases him.
But their idols are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.
They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but they cannot see;
they have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but they cannot smell;
they have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but they cannot walk;
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
O house of Israel, trust in the Lord-
he is their help and shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord-
he is their help and shield.
You who fear him, trust in the Lord-
he is their help and shield.
