< 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 Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.
2 Why should the nations say, Where is now their God?
Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, [is] their God.
3 But our God is in the heavens. He has done whatever he pleased.
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands,
5 They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
6 They have ears, but they hear not. They have noses, but they smell not.
Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, 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.
Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;
8 Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
O Israel, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
11 Ye who fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah. He is their help and their shield.
Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, 'Their help and their shield [is] He.'
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 remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,
13 He will bless those who fear Jehovah, both small and great.
He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.
14 Jehovah increase you more and more, you and your sons.
Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.
15 Blessed are ye of Jehovah who made heaven and earth.
Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,
16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
The heavens — the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,
17 The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,
The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.
18 but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
