| Chapter 115 |
1 |
Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake. --
|
2 |
Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God? --
|
3 |
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased. --
|
4 |
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands: --
|
5 |
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; --
|
6 |
They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not; --
|
7 |
They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat. --
|
8 |
They that make them are like unto them, -- every one that confideth in them. --
|
9 |
O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. --
|
10 |
House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. --
|
11 |
Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield. --
|
12 |
Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; --
|
13 |
He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great. --
|
14 |
Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children. --
|
15 |
Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth. --
|
16 |
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men. --
|
17 |
The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence; --
|
18 |
But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah! --
