115:1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to
thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;
115:2 lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
115:3 But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has
pleased.
115:4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's
hands.
115:5 They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they
cannot see:
115:6 they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot
smell;
115:7 they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they
cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.
115:8 Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in
them.
115:9 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and
defender.
115:10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and
defender.
115:11 They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and
defender.
115:12 The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house
of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
115:13 He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
115:14 The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
115:15 Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
115:16 The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the
earth to the sons of men.
115:17 The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to
Hades.
115:18 But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for
ever. |
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.
115:2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
115:3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath
pleased.
115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see
not:
115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell
not:
115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk
not: neither speak they through their throat.
115:8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth
in them.
115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their
shield.
115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their
shield.
115:12 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.
115:13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
115:14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
115:15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he
given to the children of men.
115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
115:18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
Praise the LORD. |
