Psalm 115, Chant A

115 Non nobis, Domine

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your Name give glo-ry; *
because of your love and because of your faith-fulness.

2 Why should the heathen say, *
“Where then is their God?”

3 Our God is in hea-ven; *
whatever he wills to do he does.

4 Their idols are silver and gold, *
the work of hu-man hands.

5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak; *
eyes have they, but they can-not see;

6 They have ears, but they cannot hear; *
noses, but they can-not smell;

7 They have hands, but they cannot feel; feet, but they cannot walk; *
they make no sound with their throat.

8 Those who make them are like them, *
and so are all who put their trust in them.

9 O Israel, trust in the Lord; *
he is their help and their shield.

10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord; *
he is their help and their shield.

11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; *
he is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord has been mindful of us, and he will bless us; *
he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aa-ron;

13 He will bless those who fear the Lord, *
both small and great to-ge-ther.

14 May the Lord increase you more and more, *
you and your chil-dren af-ter you.

15 May you be blessed by the Lord, *
the maker of heaven and earth.

16 The heaven of heavens is the Lord’s, *
but he entrusted the earth to its peo-ples.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord, *
nor all those who go down in-to si-lence;

18 But we will bless the Lord, *
from this time forth for evermore. Hal-lelu-jah!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for e-ver. A-men.
