PSALM 115
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Not unto us, Lord, not to us,
but do thou glory take
Unto thy name, ev'n for thy truth,
and for thy mercy's sake.
2O wherefore should the heathen say,
Where is their God now gone?
3But our God in the heavens is,
what pleas'd him he hath done.
4Their idols silver are and gold,
work of men's hands they be.
5Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
and eyes, but do not see;
6Ears have they, but they do not hear;
noses, but savour not;
7Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk;
nor speak they through their throat.
8Like them their makers are, and all
on them their trust that build.
9O Isr'el, trust thou in the Lord,
he is their help and shield.
10O Aaron's house, trust in the Lord,
their help and shield is he.
11Ye that fear God, trust in the Lord,
their help and shield he'll be.
12The Lord of us hath mindful been,
and he will bless us still:
He will the house of Isr'el bless,
bless Aaron's house he will.
13Both small and great, that fear the Lord,
he will them surely bless.
14The Lord will you, you and your seed,
aye more and more increase.
15O blessed are ye of the Lord,
who made the earth and heav'n.
16The heav'n, ev'n heav'ns, are God's, but he
earth to men's sons hath giv'n.
17The dead, nor who to silence go,
God's praise do not record.
18But henceforth we for ever will
bless God. Praise ye the Lord.

Tehillim (Psalms) 115
115
1Not to us, O יהוה, not to us, But to Your Name give esteem, For Your loving-commitment, For Your truth.
2Why should the nations say, “Where now is their Elohim?”
3But our Elohim is in the heavens; Whatever pleased Him, He has done.
4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
5They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see;
6They have ears, but they do not hear; They have noses, but they do not smell;
7They have hands, but they do not handle; They have feet, but they do not walk; They make no sound through their throat.
8The ones who make them, shall become like them – All who trust in them.
9O Yisra’ĕl, trust in יהוה; He is their help and their shield.
10O house of Aharon, trust in יהוה; He is their help and their shield.
11You who fear יהוה, trust in יהוה; He is their help and their shield.
12יהוה has remembered us; He blesses us; He blesses the house of Yisra’ĕl; He blesses the house of Aharon.
13He blesses those who fear יהוה, The small and the great.
14יהוה gives you increase more and more, You and your children.
15You are blessed by יהוה, Who made the heavens and earth.
16The heavens are the heavens of יהוה; But He has given the earth to the children of men.
17The dead do not praise Yah, Nor any going down to silence.
18But we, we bless Yah Now and forever. Praise Yah!
