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
115
1 Alleluia. I had confidence, because of what I was saying, but then I was greatly humbled.
2 I said in my excess, "Every man is a liar."
3 What shall I repay to the Lord, for all the things that he has repaid to me?
4 I will take up the cup of salvation, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
5 I will repay my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people.
6 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his holy ones.
7 O Lord, because I am your servant, your servant and the son of your handmaid, you have broken my bonds.
8 I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will invoke the name of the Lord.
9 I will repay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people,
10 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.
