Psalmen 115

1. ¹Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
2. ²Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
3. ³But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
4. ⁴Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
5. ⁵They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
6. ⁶They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
7. ⁷They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
8. ⁸They that make them are like unto them, -- every one that confideth in them.
9. ⁹O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
10. ¹⁰House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
11. ¹¹Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
12. ¹²Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13. ¹³He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
14. ¹⁴Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
15. ¹⁵Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
16. ¹⁶The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17. ¹⁷The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
18. ¹⁸But *we* will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
