Psalms 115

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.

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

2 Why may the nations say, Where is now their God?

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

3 But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.

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

4 Their images are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

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

5 They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not;

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

6 They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell;

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

7 They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat.

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

8 Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them.

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

9 O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

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

10 O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

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

11 You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

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

12 The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron.

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

13 He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.

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

14 May the Lord give you and your children still greater increase.

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

15 May you have the blessing of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

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

16 The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.

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

17 The dead do not give praise to the Lord; or those who go down to the underworld.

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

18 But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord.

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