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 unto us, O LORD! not unto us, But unto thy name, give glory, For thy mercy and thy truth's sake!
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Why should the nations say, “Where is now their God?”
3 Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
Our God is in the heavens; He doeth whatever he pleaseth.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands:
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;
6 they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;
7 they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
They have hands, but they handle not; They have feet, but they walk not; Nor do they speak with their throats.
8 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
They who make them are like unto them; And so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
O Israel! trust thou 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.
O house of Aaron! trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
Ye that fear the LORD trust in the LORD! He is their help 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 been mindful of 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 the LORD— small and great alike.
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
The LORD will increase you more and more, You and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Blessed are ye of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
The heaven is the LORD'S heaven; But the earth he hath given to the sons of men.
17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
The dead praise not the LORD, —No one who goeth down into silence.
18 But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
But we will bless the LORD, From this time forth even for ever! Praise ye the LORD!
