| Chapter 115 |
1 |
Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. --
|
2 |
Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God? --
|
3 |
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatever he pleased. --
|
4 |
Their idols are silver and gold; the work of men's hands. --
|
5 |
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: --
|
6 |
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: --
|
7 |
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. --
|
8 |
They that make them are like them; so is every one that trusteth in them. --
|
9 |
O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. --
|
10 |
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. --
|
11 |
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. --
|
12 |
The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. --
|
13 |
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. --
|
14 |
The LORD will increase you more and more, you and your children. --
|
15 |
Ye are blessed of the LORD who made heaven and earth. --
|
16 |
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. --
|
17 |
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. --
|
18 |
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Praise the LORD. --
