Psalm 115 Non nobis, Domine
NOT unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy Name give the praise; * for thy loving mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
2Wherefore shall the heathen say, * Where is now their God?
3As for our God, he is in heaven: * he hath done whatsoever pleased him.
4Their idols are silver and gold, * even the work of men’s hands.
5They have mouths, and speak not; * eyes have they, and see not.
6They have ears, and hear not; * noses have they, and smell not.
7They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, and walk not; * neither speak they through their throat.
8They that make them are like unto them; * and so are all such as put their trust in them.
9But thou, house of Israel, trust thou in the LORD; * he is their helper and defender.
10Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in the LORD; * he is their helper and defender.
11Ye that fear the LORD, put your trust in the LORD; * he is their helper and defender.
12The LORD hath been mindful of us, and he shall bless us; * even he shall bless the house of Israel, he shall bless the house of Aaron.
13He shall bless them that fear the LORD, * both small and great.
14The LORD shall increase you more and more, * you and your children.
15Ye are the blessed of the LORD, * who made heaven and earth.
16All the whole heavens are the LORD’S; * the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17The dead praise not thee, O LORD, * neither all they that go down into silence.
18But we will praise the LORD, * from this time forth for evermore. Praise the LORD.
