< Psalms 115 >
1 NOT unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
Not unto us, O LORD! not unto us, But unto thy name, give glory, For thy mercy and thy truth's sake!
2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
Why should the nations say, “Where is now their God?”
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Our God is in the heavens; He doeth whatever he pleaseth.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands:
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
They have hands, but they handle not; They have feet, but they walk not; Nor do they speak with their throats.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
They who make them are like unto them; And so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their 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 their shield.
O house of Aaron! trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
Ye that fear the LORD trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
12 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.
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 them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14 The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
The LORD will increase you more and more, You and your children.
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
Blessed are ye of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
The heaven is the LORD'S heaven; But the earth he hath given to the sons of men.
17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
The dead praise not the LORD, —No one who goeth down into silence.
18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.
But we will bless the LORD, From this time forth even for ever! Praise ye the LORD!
