Psalm 115
Non nobis, Domine
1
Not to us, O LORD , not to us, but to your Name give glory;
because of your love and because of your faithfulness.
2
Why should the heathen say,
"Where then is their God?"
3
Our God is in heaven;
whatever he wills to do he does.
4
Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
5
They have mouths, but they cannot speak;
eyes have they, but they cannot see;
6
They have ears but they cannot hear;
noses, but they cannot smell;
7
They have hands, but they cannot feel; feet, but they cannot walk;
they make no sound with their throat.
8
Those who make them are like them,
and so are all who put their trust in them.
9
O Israel, trust 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
You who fear the LORD , trust in the LORD ;
he is their help and their shield.
12
The LORD has been mindful of us, and he will bless us;
he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13
He will bless those who fear the LORD ,
both small and great together.
14
May the LORD increase you more and more,
you and your children after you.
15
May you be blessed by the LORD ,
the maker of heaven and earth.
16
The heaven of heavens is the LORD'S ,
but he entrusted the earth to its peoples.
17
The dead do not praise the LORD ,
nor all those who go down into silence;
18
But we will bless the LORD ,
from this time forth for evermore. Hallelujah!
