PSAL. CXV. (Book 115)
NOt unto us, Lord, not to us,
but do thou glory take
Unto thy Name, ev'n for thy truth,
and for thy mercies sake.
O wherefore should the heathen say,Line 2
Where is their God now gone?
But our God in the heavens is,Line 3
what pleas'd Him He hath done.
Their idols silver are and gold,Line 4
work of mens hands they be:
Mouths have they, but they do not speak;Line 5
and eyes, but do not see.
Ears have they, but they do not hear;Line 6
noses, but savour not:
Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk,Line 7
nor speak they through their throat.
Like them their makers are, and allLine 8
on them their trust that build.
O Isra'l, trust thou in the Lord,Line 9
He is their help and shield.
O Aarons house, trust in the Lord,Line 10
their help and shield is He.
Ye that fear God, trust in the Lord,Line 11
their help and shield He'll be.
The Lord of us hath mindfull been,Line 12
and He will blesse us still,
