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, Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for your kindness’ and faithfulness’ sake.
2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?
Why should the heathen say, “Where is now their God?”
3 But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.
Our God he is in heaven; whatever he wishes, he does.
4 Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.
Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands.
5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see.
6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.
They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell.
7 They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.
They have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk: no sound comes from their throats.
8 They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
O Israel, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.
House of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.
You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord he is their help and their shield.
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, mindful of us, will bless us: he will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.
He will bless those who fear the Lord, the small and the great together.
14 The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.
May the Lord add to your numbers to you and to your children.
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.
Blessed be you of the Lord, creator of heaven and earth.
16 The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.
The heavens are the heavens of the Lord, but the earth has he given to people.
17 The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.
The dead cannot praise the Lord, nor those who go down into silence.
18 But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
But we will bless the Lord from now and for evermore. Hallelujah.
