As has been the pattern during this current “Season of Psalms,” I am going to start this next Psalm by simply reading it and asking the Holy Spirit to begin teaching me. During this season the emphasis is on memorization and meditation. I am not looking for intellectual understanding of the Psalms that Daddy is leading me to. I am purposely avoiding the commentary of others and seeking the direct revelation of the Spirit. It is His truth that I am longing to receive as I ponder on each verse. With that in mind, let’s go…
Psalm 115:1-18 (NKJV):
1.Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but to Your name give glory, because of Your mercy, because of Your truth.
2.Why should the gentiles say, ‘So where is their God?’
3.But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.
4.Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5.They have mouths, but they do not speak; eyes they have, but they do not see;
6.They have ears, but they do not hear; noses they have, but they do not smell;
7.They have hands, but they do not handle; feet they have, but they do not walk; nor do they mutter through their throat.
8.Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them.
9.O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.
10.O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is their help and shield.
11.You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD, He is their help and their shield.
12.The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
13.He will bless those who fear the LORD, both small and great.
14.May the LORD give you increase more and more, you and your children.
15.May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
16.The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; but the earth He has given to the children of men.
17.The dead do not praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence.
18.But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!
