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.

Psalms 115
115
Bless the Maker of Heaven and Earth
1Not to us, Adonai, not to us, but to Your Name be the glory— because of Your love and Your faithfulness.
2Why should the nations say: “Where is their God now?”
3Our God is in the heavens— He does whatever pleases Him!
4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
5They have mouths, but cannot speak; eyes, but cannot see.
6They have ears, but cannot hear; noses, but cannot smell.
7They have hands, but cannot feel; feet, but cannot walk, nor utter a sound with their throat.
8Those making them will become like them —everyone trusting in them.
9O Israel, trust in Adonai— He is their help and their shield!
10O house of Aaron, trust in Adonai— He is their help and their shield!
11O you who fear Adonai, trust in Adonai— He is their help and their shield!
12Adonai has been mindful of us, He will bless: He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;
13He will bless those who fear Adonai, the small together with the great.
14May Adonai increase you more and more —you and your children.
15May you be blessed by Adonai, Maker of heaven and earth.
16The heavens are the heavens of Adonai, but the earth He gave to the children of men.
17The dead do not praise Adonai, nor do any who go down into silence.
18But we—we will bless Adonai both now and forever. Halleluyah!
