The Psalms

Psalm 115

 ^115:1Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us,

 But unto thy name give glory,

 For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth's sake.

 ^115:2Wherefore should the nations say,

 Where is now their God?

 ^115:3But our God is in the heavens:

 He hath done whatsoever he pleased.

 ^115:4Their idols are silver and gold,

 The work of men's hands.

 ^115:5They have mouths, but they speak not;

 Eyes have they, but they see not;

 ^115:6They have ears, but they hear not;

 Noses have they, but they smell not;

 ^115:7They have hands, but they handle not;

 Feet have they, but they walk not;

 Neither speak they through their throat.

 ^115:8They that make them shall be like unto them;

 Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

 ^115:9O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah:

 He is their help and their shield.

 ^115:10O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah:

 He is their help and their shield.

 ^115:11Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah:

 He is their help and their shield.

 ^115:12Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless us:

 He will bless the house of Israel;

 He will bless the house of Aaron.

 ^115:13He will bless them that fear Jehovah,

 Both small and great.

 ^115:14Jehovah increase you more and more,

 You and your children.

 ^115:15Blessed are ye of Jehovah,

 Who made heaven and earth.

 ^115:16The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah;

 But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

 ^115:17The dead praise not Jehovah,

 Neither any that go down into silence;

 ^115:18But we will bless Jehovah

 From this time forth and for evermore.

 Praise ye Jehovah.
