Psalms 115

1 Because God is truly glorious, 4 and idols are vanity, 9 he exhorteth to confidence in God. 12 God is to be praised for his blessings.

 115:1 ¶ Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth's sake.

 115:2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God?

 115:3 But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased.

 115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.

 115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

 115:6 They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

 115:7 They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.

 115:8 They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

 115:9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

 115:10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

 115:11 Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

 115:12 Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless [us]: He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

 115:13 He will bless them that fear Jehovah, Both small and great.

 115:14 Jehovah increase you more and more, You and your children.

 115:15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

 115:16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

 115:17 The dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;

 115:18 But we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
