| Chapter
115 |
1 | Not
unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and
for thy truth's sake. |
2 |
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? |
3 | But our God is in the heavens: he hath
done whatsoever he hath 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 unto 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 shall
increase you more and more, you and your children. |
15 | Ye are blessed of the LORD which 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 evermore. Praise the LORD. |
