Psalm 115 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Heathen Idols contrasted with Jehovah.

Psa 115:1
Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us,
But unto thy name give glory,
For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth’s sake.
Psa 115:2
Wherefore should the nations say,
Where is now their God?
Psa 115:3
But our God is in the heavens:
He hath done whatsoever he pleased.
Psa 115:4
Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
Psa 115:5
They have mouths, but they speak not;
Eyes have they, but they see not;
Psa 115:6
They have ears, but they hear not;
Noses have they, but they smell not;
Psa 115:7
They have hands, but they handle not;
Feet have they, but they walk not;
Neither speak they through their throat.
Psa 115:8
They that make them shall be like unto them;
Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
Psa 115:9
O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
Psa 115:10
O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
Psa 115:11
Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
Psa 115:12
Jehovah hath been mindful of us; he will bless us:
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
Psa 115:13
He will bless them that fear Jehovah,
Both small and great.
Psa 115:14
Jehovah increase you more and more,
You and your children.
Psa 115:15
Blessed are ye of Jehovah,
Who made heaven and earth.
Psa 115:16
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah;
But the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Psa 115:17
The dead praise not Jehovah,
Neither any that go down into silence;
Psa 115:18
But we will bless Jehovah
From this time forth and for evermore.
Praise ye Jehovah.
