Psalm 115 Non nobis, Domine
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your Name give glo-ry; *
because of your love and because of your faith-fulness.
2 Why should the heathen say, *
“Where then is their God?”
3 Our God is in hea-ven; *
whatever she wills to do she does.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, *
the work of hu-man hands.
5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak; *
eyes have they, but they can-not see;
6 They have ears but they cannot hear; *
noses, but they can-not smell;
7 They have hands, but they cannot feel; feet, but they cannot walk; *
they make no sound with their throat.
8 Those who make them are like them, *
and so are all who put their trust in them.
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD; *
she is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; *
she is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; *
she is their help and their shield.
12 The LORD has been mindful of us, and she will bless us; *
she will bless the house of Israel; she will bless the house of Aa-ron;
13 She will bless those who fear the LORD, *
both small and great to-ge-ther.
14 May the LORD increase you more and more, *
you and your child-ren af-ter you.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, *
the maker of heaven and earth.
16 The heaven of heavens is the LORD’S, *
but she entrusted the earth to its peo-ples.
17 The dead do not praise the LORD, *
nor all those who go down in-to si-lence;
18 But we will bless the LORD, *
from this time forth for evermore. Hal-le-lu-jah!
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
