Psalm 115

1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto your Name give the praise, for your loving mercy and for your truth’s sake.

Why shall the nations say, “Where now is their God?”

As for our God, he is in heaven; he has done whatsoever pleased him.

Their idols are silver and gold, even the work of human 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 feel not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither is there any sound in their throat.

Those who make them are like them, and so are all who put their trust in them.

But you, O house of Israel, trust in the Lord; he is their helper and defender.

You house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord; he is their helper and defender.

You who fear the Lord, put your trust in the Lord; he is their helper and defender.

The Lord has been mindful of us, and he shall bless us; he shall bless the house of Israel; he shall bless the house of Aaron;

He shall bless those who fear the Lord, both small and great together.

The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children after you.

You are the blessed of the Lord, who has made heaven and earth.

The heavens are the Lord’s; the earth has he given to the children of men.

The dead praise you not, O Lord, neither all those who go down into silence.

But we will praise the Lord, from this time forth for evermore. Praise the Lord.
