115:1 | | Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith. |
115:2 | | Why may the nations say, Where is now their God? |
115:3 | | But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him. |
115:4 | | Their images are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. |
115:5 | | They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not; |
115:6 | | They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell; |
115:7 | | They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat. |
115:8 | | Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them. |
115:9 | | O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate. |
115:10 | | O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate. |
115:11 | | You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate. |
115:12 | | The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron. |
115:13 | | He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great. |
115:14 | | May the Lord give you and your children still greater increase. |
115:15 | | May you have the blessing of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. |
115:16 | | The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men. |
115:17 | | The dead do not give praise to the Lord; or those who go down to the underworld. |
115:18 | | But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord. |
