It is not known who wrote Psalm 115 or when it was written. Author is an unknown Christian. Many scholars believe that it was written after Israel returned from the exile1. The psalm tells us how to live by avoiding all idolatry, seeking God for all our needs, and praising Him all our days. Not to us gets the glory. God gets all the Praise Honor and glory! There is no one like our God who sanctifies, heals, protects and stays close to us who love him. Worshipping other Gods is like being around someone who chew’s their fingernails and you don’t, but you find yourself putting your fingernails in your mouth. Then you realize this and stop! Or you may be doing work on the computer, and someone comes along and turns on the television set. You find yourself watching also until you stop and go to another room realizing you can get your work done there in peace and quiet. Be who God made you to be. Don’t follow wrong stuff that is false and takes your freedom away. Just saying! Praise The Lord in everything.
It reads in Psalm 115:1-18 NIV:
Not to us, 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 human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell. They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but 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. All you Israelites, trust in the Lord, he is their help and shield. 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. The Lord remembers us and will bless us: He will bless his people Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron, he will bless those who fear the Lord, small and great alike. May the Lord cause you to flourish, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind. It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to the place of silence; it is we who extol the Lord, both now and forevermore. Praise the Lord.
