Psalms 115

DouayRheims(i) 1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory. 2 For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake: lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God? 3 But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would. 4 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men. 5 They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not. 6 They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not. 7 They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat. 8 Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them. 9 The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector. 10 The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector. 11 They that fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector. 12 The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron. 13 He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great. 14 May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children. 15 Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven of heaven is the Lord's: but the earth he has given to the children of men. 17 The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell. 18 But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
