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 to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.
2 Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: lest the gentiles should say: Where is their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.
6 They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
They have ears and hear not: they have noses and 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 feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.
8 Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
11 Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.
12 Jehovah has been mindful of us. He will bless, he will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.
14 Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.
15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: but the earth he has given to the children of men.
17 The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell. (questioned)
18 but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
