Psalm 115. Non nobis, Domine.

1. Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your Name give glory; *
   because of your love and because of your faithfulness.
2. Why should the heathen say, *
   Where then is their God?
3. Our God is in heaven; *
   whatever he wills to do he does.
4. Their idols are silver and gold, *
   the work of human hands.
5. They have mouths, but they cannot speak; *
   eyes have they, but they cannot see;
6. They have ears, but they cannot hear; *
   noses, but they cannot 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; *
   he is their help and their shield.
10. O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; *
    he is their help and their shield.
11. You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; *
    he is their help and their shield.
12. The Lord has been mindful of us, and he will bless us; *
    he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13. He will bless those who fear the Lord, *
    both small and great together.
14. May the Lord increase you more and more, *
    you and your children after 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 he entrusted the earth to its peoples.
17. The dead do not praise the Lord, *
    nor all those who go down into silence;
18. But we will bless the Lord, *
    from this time forth for evermore. Hallelujah!
