Psalm 115

Revised Version 1895

1NotH3808 unto usH5414, O LORDH3068, notH3808 unto usH5414, but unto thy nameH8034 giveH5414 gloryH3519, for thy mercyH3068, and for thy truth’s sakeH5921.

2Wherefore should the nationsH1471 sayH559, WhereH346 is nowH4994 their GodH430?

3But our GodH430 is in the heavensH8064: he hath doneH6213 whatsoeverH3605 he pleasedH2654.

4Their idolsH6091 are silverH3701 and goldH2091, the workH4639 of men’sH120 handsH3027.

5They have mouthsH6310, but they speakH1696 notH3808; eyesH5869 have they, but they seeH7200 notH3808;

6They have earsH241, but they hearH8085 notH3808; nosesH639 have they, but they smellH7306 notH3808;

7They have handsH3027, but they handle notH3808; feetH7272 have they, but they walkH1980 notH3808; neitherH3808 speak they throughH3027 their throatH1627.

8They that makeH6213 them shall be like unto them; yea, everyH3605 one that trusteth in them.

9O IsraelH3478, trustH982 thou in the LORDH3068: he is their helpH5828 and their shieldH4043.

10O houseH1004 of AaronH175, trustH982 ye in the LORDH3068: he is their helpH5828 and their shieldH4043.

11Ye that fearH3373 the LORDH3068, trustH982 in the LORDH3068: he is their helpH5828 and their shieldH4043.

12The LORDH3068 hath been mindfulH2142 of usH853; he will blessH1288 usH853: he will blessH1288 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; he will blessH1288 the houseH1004 of AaronH175.

13He will blessH1288 them that fearH3373 the LORDH3068, both smallH6996 and greatH1419.

14The LORDH3068 increaseH3254 youH5921 moreH3254 and moreH3254, youH5921 and your childrenH1121.

15BlessedH1288 are ye of the LORDH3068, which madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776.

16The heavensH8064 are the heavensH8064 of the LORDH3068; but the earthH776 hath he givenH5414 to the childrenH1121 of menH120.

17The deadH4191 praiseH1984 notH3808 the LORDH3050, neitherH3808 anyH3605 that goH3381 downH3381 intoH3381 silenceH1745;

18But weH587 will blessH1288 the LORDH3050 from this time forth and for evermore. PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050.
