Psalms 115

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.

Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, —but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.

2 Why may the nations say, Where is now their God?

Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?

3 But our God is in heaven: he has done whatever was pleasing to him.

When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.

4 Their images are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —

5 They have mouths, but no voice; they have eyes, but they see not;

A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;

6 They have ears, but no hearing; they have noses, but no sense of smell;

Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they smell not:

7 They have hands without feeling, and feet without power of walking; and no sound comes from their throat.

Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.

8 Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his faith in them.

Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.

9 O Israel, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

10 O house of Aaron, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

11 You worshippers of the Lord, have faith in the Lord: he is their help and their breastplate.

Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!

12 The Lord has kept us in mind and will give us his blessing; he will send blessings on the house of Israel and on the house of Aaron.

Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless—He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron;

13 He will send blessings on the worshippers of the Lord, on the small and on the great.

He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.

14 May the Lord give you and your children still greater increase.

Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.

15 May you have the blessing of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:

16 The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.

As for the heavens, the heavens, belong to Yahweh, but the earth, hath he given to the sons of men.

17 The dead do not give praise to the Lord; or those who go down to the underworld.

The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;

18 But we will give praise to the Lord now and for ever. Praise be to the Lord.

But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
