115.1 :Wherefore should the nations say:
 * 'Where is now their God?'


 * But our God is in the heavens;
 * Whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.
 * Their idols are silver and gold,
 * The work of men's hands.
 * They have mouths, but they speak not;
 * Eyes have they, but they see not;
 * They have ears, but they hear not;
 * Noses have they, but they smell not;
 * They have hands, but they handle not;
 * Feet have they, but they walk not;
 * Neither speak they with their throat.
 * They that make them shall be like unto them;
 * Yea, every one that trusteth in them.


 * O Israel, trust thou in the !
 * He is their help and their shield!
 * O house of Aaron, trust ye in the !
 * He is their help and their shield!
 * Ye that fear the, trust in the !
 * He is their help and their shield.


 * The hath been mindful of us, He will bless—
 * He will bless the house of Israel;
 * He will bless the house of Aaron.
 * He will bless them that fear the ,
 * Both small and great.
 * The increase you more and more,
 * You and your children.
 * Blessed be ye of the
 * Who made heaven and earth.


 * The heavens are the heavens of the ;
 * But the earth hath He given to the children of men.
 * The dead praise not the ,
 * Neither any that go down into silence;
 * But we will bless the
 * From this time forth and for ever.
 * Hallelujah.


 * I love that the should hear
 * My voice and my supplications.
 * Because He hath inclined His ear unto me,
 * Therefore will I call upon Him all my days.


 * The cords of death compassed me,
 * And the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me;
 * I found trouble and sorrow.
 * But I called upon the name of the :
 * 'I beseech thee, O, deliver my soul.'
 * Gracious is the, and righteous;
 * Yea, our God is compassionate.
 * The preserveth the simple;
 * I was brought low, and He saved me.


 * Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest;
 * For the hath dealt bountifully with thee.
 * For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
 * Mine eyes from tears,
 * And my feet from stumbling.
 * I shall walk before the
 * In the lands of the living.
 * I trusted even when I spoke:
 * 'I am greatly afflicted.'
 * I said in my haste:
 * 'All men are liars.'


 * How can I repay unto the
 * All His bountiful dealings toward me?
