Psalm 115 starts with: "Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory". This psalm is a hymn of praise to God alone and a declaration of trust in him. It ridicules idolatry as the idols have mouths but can't speak, have eyes but can't see, have ears that can't hear, have noses but can't smell and have hands but can't feel. He then calls on Israel to only trust in the Lord because he is our help and shield. He will bless those who fear him. "It is we who extol the Lord, both now and for evermore".
