Not to Us, but to Your Name | Psalm 115 Blues

** Psalm 115 was written during a time when Israel faced ridicule from surrounding nations. Although the exact author is unknown, it is widely believed to have been penned by the priests or Levites during or after the Babylonian exile — a time when the people of God were desperate for restoration and reaffirmation of their faith.

This psalm was a bold declaration: God is real, powerful, and still sovereign, even when His people are weak or oppressed. It was written to refocus the hearts of Israel, reminding them not to seek glory for themselves but to glorify God alone — the One who truly reigns.

Psalm 115 remains a timeless call today:
Trust in the living God, not in man-made idols.
Bless His name. Honor His truth.
From this time forth, and forevermore.

📖 Psalm 115 (World English Bible)

1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your loving kindness, 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 Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
10 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
12 Yahweh remembers 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 Yahweh, both small and great.
14 May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men.
17 The dead don’t praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence;
18 But we will bless Yah, from this time forward and forever more. Praise Yah!

🎶 Lyrics: Psalm 115 | Not to Us, but to Your Name Blues

Verse 1:
Not to us, Lord, not to us,
But to Your name, glory must rise.
For Your love, for Your truth,
We lift these worn-out eyes.
The nations ask, "Where is their God?"
But our God reigns above the skies.

Verse 2:
They carve their gods from silver and gold,
The work of trembling hands.
Mouths that never whisper,
Eyes that don't understand.
Ears that hear no cry,
Feet that stumble in the sand.

Chorus:
You are our help,
You are our shield.
You are our song,
Forever revealed.

Verse 3:
Those who trust in lifeless things
Will become just the same.
But we trust in Yahweh,
The fire that calls our name.
He remembers His people,
And blesses those who proclaim.

Bridge:
The heavens are Yours, Lord,
But You gave the earth to men.
The dead don't praise You,
But we will, we will again.

Chorus:
You are our help,
You are our shield.
You are our hope,
Forever revealed.

Outro:
From this time forth and forevermore,
Praise Yah...
Praise Yah...
