Psalms 115

1I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

1Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

2I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

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

3What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things that he hath rendered to me?

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

4I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

5I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

7O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

9I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

9O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.

10In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.

11(not in this translation)

11Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.

12(not in this translation)

12The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

13(not in this translation)

13He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.

14(not in this translation)

14The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

15(not in this translation)

15Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.

16(not in this translation)

16The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

17(not in this translation)

17The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.

18(not in this translation)

18But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.
