Psalm 115

Psalm 115

¹Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth’s sake. ²Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God? ³But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased. ⁴Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands: ⁵They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; ⁶They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not; ⁷They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat. ⁸They that make them are like unto them, —every one that confideth in them.

⁹O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. ¹⁰House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. ¹¹Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. ¹²Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; ¹³He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great. ¹⁴Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children. ¹⁵Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth. ¹⁶The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men. ¹⁷The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence; ¹⁸But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
