Psalms 115
1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;
Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
2 lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
3 But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
5 They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
6 they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;
They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
7 they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.
They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
8 Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
9 The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
10 The house of Aaron trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
11 They that fear the Lord trust in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: 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.
Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13 He has blessed them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
14 The Lord add [blessings] to you and to your children.
Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
15 Blessed are you of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
16 The heaven of heavens [belongs] to the Lord: but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead shall not praise you, O Lord, nor any that go down to Hades.
The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
18 But we, the living, will bless the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
But we will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
