Psalms 115

1Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;

2lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?

3But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.

4The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

5They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see:

6they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell;

7they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.

8Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

9The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

10The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

11They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.

12The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.

13He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

14The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.

15Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

16The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.

17The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.

18But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
