Geneva Bible (1599)Psalm 115

¹ Not vnto vs, O Lord, not vnto vs, but vnto thy Name giue the glorie, for thy louing mercie and for thy truethes sake.

² Wherefore shall the heathen say, Where is nowe their God?

³ But our God is in heauen: he doeth what so euer he will.

⁴ Their idoles are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens hands.

⁵ They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.

⁶ They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smelll not.

⁷ They haue handes and touche not: they haue feete and walke not: neither make they a sound with their throte.

⁸ They that make them are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.

⁹ O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.

¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde.

¹¹ Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.

¹² The Lord hath bene mindfull of vs: he will blesse, he will blesse the house of Israel, he will blesse the house of Aaron.

¹³ He will blesse them that feare the Lord, both small and great.

¹⁴ The Lord will increase his graces towarde you, euen toward you and toward your children.

¹⁵ Ye are blessed of the Lord, which made the heauen and the earth.

¹⁶ The heauens, euen the heauens are the Lordes: but he hath giuen the earth to the sonnes of men.

¹⁷ The dead prayse not the Lord, neither any that goe downe into the place of silence.

¹⁸ But we will prayse the Lord from henceforth and for euer. Prayse ye the Lord.
