The Book of Psalms, Chapter 115
|
| 1 |
Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory,
for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
|
| 2 |
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
|
| 3 |
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath
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 unto 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 shall increase you more and more, you and your
children.
|
| 15 |
Ye are blessed of the LORD which 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
evermore.
Praise the LORD.
