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.

Psalm 115
Heathen Idols Contrasted with the Lord.
1Not to us, Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy, because of Your #115:1 Or faithfulnesstruth.
2Why should the nations say,
“Where, then, is their God?”
3But our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever He pleases.
4Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of human hands.
5They have mouths, but they cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
6They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
7 # 115:7 Lit Their hands They have hands, but they cannot feel;
# 115:7 Lit Their feet They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8Those who make them #115:8 Or are like themwill become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.
9¶Israel, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
10House of Aaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
11You who #115:11 Or reverefear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
12The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13He will bless those who #115:13 Or reverefear the Lord,
The small together with the great.
14May the Lord increase you,
You and your children.
15May you be blessed of the Lord,
Maker of heaven and earth.
16¶The heavens are the heavens of the Lord,
But the earth He has given to the sons of mankind.
17The dead do not praise #115:17 Heb Yahthe Lord,
Nor do any who go down into silence;
18But as for us, we will bless #115:18 Heb Yahthe Lord
From this time and forever.
# 115:18 Or Hallelujah! Praise #115:18 Heb Yahthe Lord!
