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, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
2Why do the nations say, ‘Where, pray, [is] their God.
3And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
4Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,
7Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9O Israel, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield [is] He.’
10O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield [is] He.’
11Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield [is] He.’
12 Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
13He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
