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 foreign language,
2lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.
3The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
4The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
4The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
5They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:
5What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
6they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;
6You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You 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, you 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.
8who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
