< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.
2 Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, “Where is their God?”
For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: lest the gentiles should say: Where is their God?
3 But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.
But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.
4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
5 They have mouths, and do not speak; they have eyes, and do not see.
They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.
6 They have ears, and do not hear; they have noses, and do not smell.
They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.
7 They have hands, and do not feel; they have feet, and do not walk. Neither will they cry out with their throat.
They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.
8 Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.
Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.
9 The house of Israel has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
10 The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
11 Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
12 The Lord has been mindful of us, and he has blessed us. He has blessed the house of Israel. He has blessed the house of Aaron.
The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.
13 He has blessed all who fear the Lord, the small with the great.
He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.
14 May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your sons.
May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.
15 Blessed are you by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16 The heaven of heaven is for the Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: but the earth he has given to the children of men.
17 The dead will not praise you, Lord, and neither will all those who descend into Hell. (questioned)
The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell. (questioned)
18 But we who live will bless the Lord, from this time forward, and even forever.
But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
