< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, but to thy name give glory. For thy loving kindness, and for thy truth's sake.
Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
2 Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
5 They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
6 They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
7 They have hands, but they handle not. They have feet, but they walk not, nor do they speak through their throat.
They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
8 Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
11 Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
12 Jehovah has been mindful of us. He will bless, he will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
14 Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
18 but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
