| Chapter 115 |
1 | Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
|
2 | Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
|
3 | But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatever he pleased.
|
4 | 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:
|
6 | 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.
|
8 | They that make them are like them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
|
9 | 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.
|
11 | 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.
|
13 | He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
|
14 | The LORD will increase you more and more, you and your children.
|
15 | Ye are blessed 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.
|
17 | The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
|
18 | But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Praise the LORD.
