Psalm 115, side by side
Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.
1Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

6they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
