Psalm 115(A)

Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us,
    but unto Your name give glory,
    for the sake of Your mercy, and for the sake of Your truth.

Why should the nations say,
    “Where now is their God?”
But our God is in the heavens;
    He does whatever He pleases.
Their idols are silver and gold,
    the work of men’s hands.
They have mouths, but they cannot speak;
    eyes, but they cannot see;
they have ears, but they cannot hear;
    noses, but they cannot smell;
they have hands, but they cannot feel;
    feet, but they cannot walk;
    neither can they speak with their throat.
Those who make them are like them;
    so is everyone who trusts in them.

O Israel, trust 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 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
    He is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord has 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 those who fear the Lord,
    both the small and great ones.

14 The Lord shall increase you more and more,
    you and your children.
15 You are blessed of the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.

16 The heavens belong to the Lord,
    but the earth He has given to the children of men.
17 The dead do not praise the Lord,
    nor do any who go down into silence.
18 But we will bless the Lord
    from this time and for evermore.

Praise the Lord!

Heathen idols contrasted with Jehovah.

115 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us,
But unto thy name give glory,
For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth’s sake.
Wherefore should the nations say,
Where is now their God?
But our God is in the heavens:
He hath done whatsoever he pleased.
Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
They have mouths, but they speak not;
Eyes have they, but they see not;
They have ears, but they hear not;
Noses have they, but they smell not;
They have hands, but they handle not;
Feet have they, but they walk not;
Neither speak they through their throat.
They that make them shall be like unto them;
Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
12 Jehovah 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 Jehovah,
Both small and great.
14 Jehovah increase you more and more,
You and your children.
15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah,
Who made heaven and 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 [a]Jehovah,
Neither any that go down into silence;
18 But we will bless [b]Jehovah
From this time forth and for evermore.
[c]Praise ye Jehovah.
