Psalm 115
|
|
| 115:1
Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy
mercy, and for thy truth's sake. |
|
| 115:2
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? |
|
| 115:3
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. |
|
| 115:4
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. |
|
| 115:5
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: |
|
| 115:6
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: |
|
| 115:7
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not:
neither speak they through their throat. |
|
| 115:8
They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in
them. |
|
| 115:9
O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |
|
| 115:10
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. |
|
| 115:11
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their
shield. |
|
| 115:12
The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the
house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. |
|
| 115:13
He will bless them
that fear the LORD, both small and great. |
(115:13) "He will bless them
that fear the LORD."
Should
we fear God?
|
| 115:14
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. |
|
| 115:15
Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. |
|
| 115:16
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given
to the children of men. |
(115:16) "The earth hath he given to the children of men."
Who owns the earth?
(115:17) "The dead praise not the LORD."
Is death final?
|
| 115:17
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
|
| 115:18
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise
the LORD.
