Psalm 115
God and the
Idols |
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,
|
3 |
But our God is in the heavens:
|
he hath done whatsoever he hath
pleased. |
|
|
4 |
Their idols are silver and
gold,
|
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;
|
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,
|
14 |
The LORD shall
increase you more and more,
|
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. |
