| Chapter 115 |
1 | Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. |
2 | Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God? |
3 | But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatever he pleased. |
4 | Their idols are silver and gold; the work of men's hands. |
5 | They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: |
6 | They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: |
7 | They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. |
8 | They that make them are like them; so is every one that trusteth in them. |
9 | O Israel, trust thou 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 | Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |
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. |
13 | He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. |
14 | The LORD will increase you more and more, you and your children. |
15 | Ye are blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth. |
16 | The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. |
17 | The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. |
18 | But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Praise the LORD. |
