115 The Lord Deserves To Be Praised
1 We don't deserve praise!
The Lord alone deserves
all of the praise,
because of his love
and faithfulness.

1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

2 Why should the nations ask,
“Where is your God?”
|
2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
|
|
3 Our God is in the heavens,
doing as he chooses.
|
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
|
4 The idols of the nations 
are made of silver and gold.
|
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
|
|
5 They have a mouth and eyes,
but they can't speak or see.
|
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
|
|
6 Their ears can't hear,
and their noses can't smell.
|
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
|
|
7 Their hands have no feeling,
their legs don't move,
and they can't make a sound.
|
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
|
|
8 Everyone who made the idols
and all who trust them
are just as helpless
as those useless gods.
|
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
|
|
9 People of Israel,
you must trust the Lord
to help and protect you.
|
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
|
|
10 Family of Aaron the priest,
you must trust the Lord
to help and protect you.
|
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
|
|
11 All of you worship the Lord,
so you must trust him
to help and protect you.
|
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
|
|
12 The Lord will not forget
to give us his blessing;
he will bless all of Israel
and the family of Aaron.
|
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.
|
13 All who worship the Lord,
no matter who they are,
will receive his blessing.
|
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.  and: Heb. with
|
|
14 I pray that the Lord
will let your family
and your descendants
always grow strong.
|
14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
|
|
15 May the Lord who created
the heavens and the earth
give you his blessing.
|
15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
|
|
16 The Lord has kept the heavens
for himself,
but he has given the earth
to us humans.
|
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
|
|
17 The dead are silent
and cannot praise the Lord,
|
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
|
|
18 but we will praise him
now and forevermore.
Shout praises to the Lord!
|
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
