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
1Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
for your loving kindness, and for your truth’s sake.
2Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God, now?”
3But our God is in the heavens.
He does whatever he pleases.
4Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of men’s hands.
5They have mouths, but they don’t speak.
They have eyes, but they don’t see.
6They have ears, but they don’t hear.
They have noses, but they don’t smell.
7They have hands, but they don’t feel.
They have feet, but they don’t walk,
neither do they speak through their throat.
8Those who make them will be like them;
yes, everyone who trusts in them.
9Israel, trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
10House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
11You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
12Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel.
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13He will bless those who fear Yahweh,
both small and great.
14May Yahweh increase you more and more,
you and your children.
15Blessed are you by Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.
16The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens,
but he has given the earth to the children of men.
17The dead don’t praise Yah,
nor any who go down into silence,
18but we will bless Yah,
from this time forward and forever more.
Praise Yah!
