< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
3 Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
6 they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
7 they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
8 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
12 The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;
The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.
He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
14 May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
18 But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
