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, Lord, not to us, but to you all glory should be given, because of your trustworthy love and faithfulness.
2 Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
Why should the heathen nations ask, “Where is your God?”
3 But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Their idols are just things of silver and gold made by human hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
They have mouths, but can't speak. They have eyes, but can't see.
6 They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
They have ears, but can't hear. They have noses, but can't smell.
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, but can't feel. They have feet, but can't walk. No sound comes from their throats.
8 Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
Those who make idols become just like them, and so does everyone who trusts in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
Israel, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
Descendants of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
11 Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
Those who honor the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is the one who helps you and protects you.
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 keeps us in mind and will be good to us. He will bless Israel, he will bless the descendants of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
The Lord will bless all those who worship him, whoever they are.
14 Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
May the Lord be good to you, you and your children.
15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
May you be blessed by 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 heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to humankind.
17 The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
The dead do not praise the Lord, those who have gone down into the silence of the grave.
18 but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
But we the living will always praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
