Psalm 115. Non nobis, Domine.

1. NOT unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give the praise; *
   for thy loving mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
2. Wherefore shall the heathen say, *
   Where is now their God?
3. As for our God, he is in heaven: *
   he hath done whatsoever pleased him.
4. Their idols are silver and gold, *
   even the work of men's hands.
5. They have mouths, and speak not; *
   eyes have they, and see not.
6. They have ears, and hear not; *
   noses have they, and smell not.
7. They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, and walk not; *
   neither speak they through their throat.
8. They that make them are like unto them; *
   and so are all such as put their trust in them.
9. But thou, house of Israel, trust thou in the Lord; *
   he is their helper and defender.
10. Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord; *
    he is their helper and defender.
11. Ye that fear the Lord, put your trust in the Lord; *
    he is their helper and defender.
12. The Lord hath been mindful of us, and he shall bless us; *
    even he shall bless the house of Israel, he shall bless the house of Aaron.
13. He shall bless them that fear the Lord, *
    both small and great.
14. The Lord shall increase you more and more, *
    you and your children.
15. Ye are the blessed of the Lord, *
    who made heaven and earth.
16. All the whole heavens are the Lord's; *
    the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17. The dead praise not thee, O Lord, *
    neither all they that go down into silence.
18. But we will praise the Lord, *
    from this time forth for evermore. Praise the Lord.
