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.

Psalms 115
115
1Lord, you should receive the honor, not us.
The honor belongs to you
because of your faithful love and loyalty.
2Why should the nations wonder
where our God is?
3Our God is in heaven,
and he does whatever he wants.
4The “gods” of those nations are only statues
that some human made from gold and silver.
5Those statues have mouths, but cannot talk.
They have eyes, but cannot see.
6They have ears, but cannot hear.
They have noses, but cannot smell.
7They have hands, but cannot feel.
They have feet, but cannot walk.
No sounds come from their throats.
8The people who make and trust in those statues
will become like them!
9People of Israel, trust in the Lord!
He is your strength and shield.
10Aaron’s family, trust in the Lord!
He is your strength and shield.
11Followers of the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is your strength and shield.
12The Lord remembers us.
He will bless us.
He will bless Israel.
He will bless Aaron’s family.
13The Lord will bless his followers,
great and small.
14May the Lord give more and more to you
and to your children.
15May you receive blessings from the Lord,#115:15 May … the Lord Or “The Lord welcomes you with a blessing.”
who made heaven and earth.
16Heaven belongs to the Lord,
but he gave the earth to people.
17The dead don’t praise him.
Those in the grave don’t praise the Lord.
18But we will praise the Lord
now and forever!
Praise the Lord!
