Psalms 115

Heathen idols contrasted with Jehovah.

¹Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, But unto thy name give glory, For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth`s sake.

²Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God?

³But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever he pleased.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men`s hands.

⁵They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

⁶They have ears, but they hear not; Noses have they, but they smell not;

⁷They have hands, but they handle not; Feet have they, but they walk not; Neither speak they through their throat.

⁸They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

⁹O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

¹¹Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah: He is their help and their shield.

¹²Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless [us]: He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³He will bless them that fear Jehovah, Both small and great.

¹⁴Jehovah increase you more and more, You and your children.

¹⁵Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

¹⁷The dead praise not Jehovah, Neither any that go down into silence;

¹⁸But we will bless Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
