Psalms 115
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.
1I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.
2Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is now their God?'
2I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.
3But our God is in the heavens; whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.
3What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?
4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
4I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
5They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
5I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:
6They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;
6Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
7They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they with their throat.
7O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:
8They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.
8I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
9O Israel, trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
9I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:
10O house of Aaron, trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
10In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
11Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
