115 1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory,
for the sake of thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness!
115 2 Why should the nations say,
"Where is their God?"
115 3 Our God is in the heavens;
he does whatever he pleases.
115 4 Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of men's hands.
115 5 They have mouths, but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
115 6 They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
115 7 They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
115 8 Those who make them are like them;
so are all who trust in them.
115 9 O Israel, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
115 10 O house of Aaron, put your trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
115 11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
115 12 The LORD has been mindful of us;
he will bless us;
he will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron;
115 13 he will bless those who fear the LORD,
both small and great.
115 14 May the LORD give you increase,
you and your children!
115 15 May you be blessed by the LORD,
who made heaven and earth!
115 16 The heavens are the LORD's heavens,
but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
115 17 The dead do not praise the LORD,
nor do any that go down into silence.
115 18 But we will bless the LORD
from this time forth and for evermore.
Praise the LORD!
