The Whole Booke of Psalmes ‎#67b

67b. Non nobis Domine

1 Not unto us, Lord, not to us,
but to thy name give praise:
Both for thy mercy and thy truth,
that are in thee alwaies.
2 Why shall the heathen scorners say,
where is their God become?
3 Our God in heaven is, and what
he will that hath he done.

4 Their idols silver are and gold,
work of mens hands they be:
5 They have a mouth and do not speake
and eyes and do not see.
6 And they have eares joyned to their heads
and do not heare at all:
And noses eke they formed have,
but not to smell withal.

7 And hands they have and handle not,
and feet but do not go:
A throat they have yet through the same
they make no sound to blow.
8 Those that make them are like to them
and those whose trust they be:
9 O Israel trust in the Lord,
their help and shield is he.

10 O Aarons house trust in the Lord,
their help and shield is he:
11 Trust ye the Lord that feare the Lord
their help and shield is he.
12 The Lord hath mindfull been of us
and will us blesse also:
On Israel and Aarons house
his blessings he will show.

13 Them that be fearers of the Lord,
the Lord will blesse them all:
Even he will blesse them every one,
the great and eke the small.
14 To you (I say) the living Lord
will multiply his grace:
To you and to the children that
shall follow of your race.

15 Ye are the blessed of the Lord,
even of the Lord I say:
Which both the heavens and the earth,
hath made and set in stay.
16 The heavens, yea the heavens hie,
belong unto the Lord:
The earth unto the sonnes of men,
he gave of free accord.

17 They that be dead do not with praise
set forth the Lords renowne:
Nor any that into the place,
of silence do go downe.
18 But we will praise the Lord our God,
from henceforth and for aye:
Sound ye the praises of the Lord,
praise ye the Lord I say.
