CXV HEATHEN IDOLS CONTRASTED WITH JEHOVAH

[1] NOT unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us,

But unto thy name give glory,

For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth’s sake.

[2] Wherefore should the nations say,

Where is now their God?

[3] But our God is in the heavens:

He hath done whatsoever he pleased.

[4] Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

[5] They have mouths, but they speak not;

Eyes have they, but they see not;

[6] They have ears, but they hear not;

Noses have they, but they smell not;

[7] They have hands, but they handle not;

Feet have they, but they walk not;

Neither speak they through their throat.

[8] They that make them shall be like unto them;

Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

[9] O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah:

He is their help and their shield.

[10] O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah:

He is their help and their shield.

[11] Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah:

He is their help and their shield.

[12] Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless us:

He will bless the house of Israel;

He will bless the house of Aaron.

[13] He will bless them that fear Jehovah,

Both small and great.

[14] Jehovah increase you more and more,

You and your children.

[15] Blessed are ye of Jehovah,

Who made heaven and earth.

[16] The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah;

But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

[17] The dead praise not Jehovah,〖Heb. Jah.〗

Neither any that go down into silence;

[18] But we will bless Jehovah〖Heb. Hallelujah.〗

From this time forth and for evermore.

Praise〖Heb. Hallelujah.〗 ye Jehovah.
