RSV Psalms 115 Chapter
115:1
Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to thy name give glory, for the sake of thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness!
115:2
Why should the nations say, 'Where is their God?'
115:3
Our God is in the heavens;he does whatever he pleases.
115:4
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
115:5
They have mouths, but do not speak;eyes, but do not see.
115:6
They have ears, but do not hear;noses, but do not smell.
115:7
They have hands, but do not feel;feet, but do not walk;and they do not make a sound in their throat.
115:8
Those who make them are like them;so are all who trust in them.
115:9
O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
115:10
O house of Aaron, put your trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
115:11
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
115:12
The LORD has 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 those who fear the LORD, both small and great.
115:14
May the LORD give you increase, you and your children!
115:15
May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth!
115:16
The heavens are the LORD's heavens, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
115:17
The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any that go down into silence.
115:18
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD!
