PSALM 115
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Not unto us, Lord, not to us,
but do thou glory take
Unto thy name, ev'n for thy truth,
and for thy mercy's sake.
2O wherefore should the heathen say,
Where is their God now gone?
3But our God in the heavens is,
what pleas'd him he hath done.
4Their idols silver are and gold,
work of men's hands they be.
5Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
and eyes, but do not see;
6Ears have they, but they do not hear;
noses, but savour not;
7Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk;
nor speak they through their throat.
8Like them their makers are, and all
on them their trust that build.
9O Isr'el, trust thou in the Lord,
he is their help and shield.
10O Aaron's house, trust in the Lord,
their help and shield is he.
11Ye that fear God, trust in the Lord,
their help and shield he'll be.
12The Lord of us hath mindful been,
and he will bless us still:
He will the house of Isr'el bless,
bless Aaron's house he will.
13Both small and great, that fear the Lord,
he will them surely bless.
14The Lord will you, you and your seed,
aye more and more increase.
15O blessed are ye of the Lord,
who made the earth and heav'n.
16The heav'n, ev'n heav'ns, are God's, but he
earth to men's sons hath giv'n.
17The dead, nor who to silence go,
God's praise do not record.
18But henceforth we for ever will
bless God. Praise ye the Lord.

Tehillim (Psa) 115
115
1Not to us, Adonai, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
because of your grace and truth.
2Why should the nations ask,
“Where is their God?”
3Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever pleases him.
4Their idols are mere silver and gold,
made by human hands.
5They have mouths, but they can’t speak;
they have eyes, but they can’t see;
6they have ears, but they can’t hear;
they have noses, but they can’t smell;
7they have hands, but they can’t feel;
they have feet, but they can’t walk;
with their throats they can’t make a sound.
8The people who make them will become like them,
along with everyone who trusts in them.
9Isra’el, trust in Adonai!
He is their help and shield.
10House of Aharon, trust in Adonai!
He is their help and shield.
11You who fear Adonai, trust in Adonai!
He is their help and shield.
12Adonai has kept us in mind,
and he will bless.
He will bless the house of Isra’el;
he will bless the house of Aharon;
13he will bless those who fear Adonai,
great and small alike.
14May Adonai increase your numbers,
both yours and those of your children.
15May you be blessed by Adonai,
the maker of heaven and earth.
16Heaven belongs to Adonai,
but the earth he has given to humankind.
17The dead can’t praise Adonai,
not those who sink down into silence.
18But we will bless Adonai
from now on and forever.
Halleluyah!
