Psalms 115
1 Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.
2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe 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 heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.
4 Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.
6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.
7 They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.
8 They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
11 Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
12 The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse 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 will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.
14 The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16 The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: but the earth he has given to the children of men.
17 The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell. (questioned)
18 But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
