Psalm 115

Non nobis, Domine

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 18 verses

  1. 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. 2

    Why should the heathen say, *
    "Where then is their God?"

  3. 3

    Our God is in heaven; *
    whatever he wills to do he does.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    They have mouths, but they cannot speak; *
    eyes have they, but they cannot see;

  6. 6

    They have ears but they cannot hear; *
    noses, but they cannot smell;

  7. 7

    They have hands, but they cannot feel; feet, but they cannot walk; *
    they make no sound with their throat.

  8. 8

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

  9. 9

    O Israel, trust in the LORD; *
    he is their help and their shield.

  10. 10

    O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; *
    he is their help and their shield.

  11. 11

    You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; *
    he is their help and their shield.

  12. 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. 13

    He will bless those who fear the LORD, *
    both small and great together.

  14. 14

    May the LORD increase you more and more, *
    you and your children after you.

  15. 15

    May you be blessed by the LORD, *
    the maker of heaven and earth.

  16. 16

    The heaven of heavens is the LORD'S, *
    but he entrusted the earth to its peoples.

  17. 17

    The dead do not praise the LORD, *
    nor all those who go down into silence;

  18. 18

    But we will bless the LORD, *
    from this time forth for evermore. Hallelujah!
