PSALM 115
Non nobis, Domine.

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 whatso- | -ever 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.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
