Psalm 115
Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name give the glory
: for the sake of your faithfulness and your loving-kindness.
Why should the heathen say ‘Where is their God?’
: our God is in heaven, he does whatever he wills.
As for their idols, they are silver and gold
: the work of a man’s hand.
They have mouths, but speak not
: they have eyes, but they cannot see.
They have ears, yet hear nothing
: they have noses, but cannot smell.
Hands they have, but handle nothing,
feet, but they do not walk
: they make no sound with their throats.
Those who make them shall be like them
: so shall everyone that trusts in them.
O Israel, trust in the Lord
: he is your help and your shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord
: he is your help and your shield.
You that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord
: he is your help and your shield.
The Lord has remembered us and he will bless us
: he will bless the house of Israel,
he will bless the house of Aaron.
He will bless all those that fear the Lord
: both high and low together.
May the Lord increase you greatly
: you and your children after you.
The blessing of the Lord be upon you
: he that made heaven and earth.
As for the heavens, they are the Lord’s
: but the earth he has given to the children of men.
The dead do not praise the Lord
: nor do any that go down to silence.
But we will bless the Lord
: both now and for evermore.
O praise the Lord.
