Psalm - 115

picture

1 N ot unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.

2 W herefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?

3 B ut our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.

4 T heir idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:

5 T hey have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

6 T hey have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;

7 T hey have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.

8 T hey that make them are like unto them,—every one that confideth in them.

9 O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

10 H ouse of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

11 Y e that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

12 J ehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;

13 H e will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.

14 J ehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.

15 Y e are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

16 T he heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17 T he dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;

18 B ut we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
