PSALM 115
Our God is in the heavens—Idols are false gods—Trust in the Lord.
1 N
OT unto us, O L
ORD, 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 L
ORD: he
is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the L
ORD: he
is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that fear the L
ORD, trust in the L
ORD: he
is their help and their shield.
12 The L
ORD 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 L
ORD,
both small and great.
14 The L
ORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Ye
are blessed of the L
ORD which made heaven and earth.
16 The heaven,
even the heavens,
are the L
ORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead praise not the L
ORD, neither any that go down into silence.
18 But we will bless the L
ORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the L
ORD.
