Chapter 115
1
Not unto us, O +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*: he is their help and their shield.
10
O house of Aaron, trust in the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*: he is their help and their shield.
11
Ye that fear the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, trust in the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*: he is their help and their shield.
12
The +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* 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 +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w*, both small and great.
14
The +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15
Ye are blessed of the +w LORD|strong=“H3068”+w* which made heaven and earth.
16
The heaven, even the heavens, are the +w LORD’s|strong=“H3068”+w*: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17
The dead praise not the +w LORD|strong=“H3050”+w*, neither any that go down into silence.
18
But we will bless the +w LORD|strong=“H3050”+w* from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the +w LORD|strong=“H3050”+w*.
