1(115) Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;
1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
2Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.
3The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
4The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:
5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;
6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.
7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
8Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
