Psalm CXV

Not unto us, Lord, not to us,
But do thou [all the] glory take
To thy great name, for thy own truth,
And for thy [saving] mercies sake.

Why should the heathen people say
To us, where is their [mighty] God?

But our God is in heav'n, and doth
What [ever] to him seemeth good.

Their Idols are silver and gold,
The work of [workmen's] hands they be;

They have mouths, but they do not speak,

And eyes [have they] but do not see.
Ears have they, but they do not hear,
Noses, but [smell or] savour not;

Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk;
Nor speak they through their [mouth or] throat.

Their makers are like them, and all
Their trust [for help] on them that build.

O Israel trust in the Lord,
He is their [only] help and shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in God,
He [only] is their help and shield:

You that fear God trust in the Lord,
[Your shield] who certain help will yield.

The Lord hath mindful been of us,
And he will [surely] bless us still;
The house of Israel he will bless,
Aaron's house [also] bless he will.

Both small and great, that fear the Lord,
The Lord will [always] surely bless;

You and your Children more and more
The Lord will [bless and] still increase.

You are the blessed of the Lord,
Who made [both all] the earth and heav'n:

The heav'n of heav'ns is his, but earth
[He] to [the] sons of men hath given.

The dead, who down to silence go,
Do not [in dust] God's praise record;

But we henceforth for ever will
Bless [our great] God: Praise ye the Lord.
