Chapter 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.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Why may the nations say, Where is now their God?  

 

 

-

3


 

  But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Their images are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.  

 

 

-

5


 

  They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not;  

 

 

-

6


 

  They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell;  

 

 

-

7


 

  They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them.  

 

 

-

9


 

  O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.  

 

 

-

10


 

  O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.  

 

 

-

11


 

  You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

13


 

  He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.  

 

 

-

14


 

  May the Lord give you and your children still greater increase.  

 

 

-

15


 

  May you have the blessing of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.  

 

 

-

16


 

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

 

 

-

17


 

  The dead do not give praise to the Lord; or those who go down to the underworld.  

 

 

-

18


 

  But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord.
