Psalm 115

New Coverdale Version

1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto your Name give the praise, * for your loving mercy and for your truth’s sake.

Why shall the nations say, * “Where now is their God?”

As for our God, he is in heaven; * he has done whatsoever pleased him.

Their idols are silver and gold, * even the work of human hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not; * eyes have they, but they see not.

They have ears, but they hear not; * noses have they, but they smell not.

They have hands, but they feel not; feet have they, but they walk not; * neither is there any sound in their throat.

Those who make them are like them, * and so are all who put their trust in them.

But you, O house of Israel, trust in the Lord; * he is their helper and defender.

You house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord; * he is their helper and defender.

You who fear the Lord, put your trust in the Lord; * he is their helper and defender.

The Lord has been mindful of us, and he shall bless us; * he shall bless the house of Israel; he shall bless the house of Aaron;

He shall bless those who fear the Lord, * both small and great together.

The Lord shall increase you more and more, * you and your children after you.

You are the blessed of the Lord, * who has made heaven and earth.

The heavens are the Lord’s; * the earth has he given to the children of men.

The dead praise you not, O Lord, * neither all those who go down into silence.

But we will praise the Lord, * from this time forth for evermore. Praise the Lord.
