< Psalms 115 >

1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to thy name give glory, because of thy mercy and thy truth;
Not to us, O YHWH, not to us, But to Your Name give glory, For Your kindness, for Your truth.
2 lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
Why do the nations say, “Where, pray, [is] their God?”
3 But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatsoever he has pleased.
And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He has pleased He has done.
4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man’s hands,
5 They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see:
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
6 they have ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell;
They have ears, and they do not hear, They have a nose, and they do not smell,
7 they have hands, but they cannot handle; they have feet, but they cannot walk: they cannot speak through their throat.
Their hands, but they do not handle, Their feet, and they do not walk;
8 Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
Nor do they mutter through their throat, Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
9 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
O Israel, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
O house of Aaron, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
11 They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
You fearing YHWH, trust in YHWH, “He [is] their help and their shield.”
12 The Lord has remembered us, and blessed us: he has blessed the house of Israel, he has blessed the house of Aaron.
YHWH has remembered us, He blesses, He blesses the house of Israel, He blesses the house of Aaron,
13 He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
He blesses those fearing YHWH, The small with the great.
14 The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
YHWH adds to you—to you and to your sons.
15 Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
Blessed [are] you of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,
16 The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
The heavens—the heavens [are] YHWH’s, And He has given the earth to sons of men;
17 The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
The dead do not praise YAH, Nor any going down to silence.
18 But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
And we, we bless YAH, From now on, and for all time. Praise YAH!
