Psalms 115
1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory.
Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us, —but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.
2 Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, “Where is their God?”
Wherefore should the nations say, Pray where is their God?
3 But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.
When, our God, is in the heavens, Whatsoever he pleased, hath he done.
4 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
Their idols, are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men, —
5 They have mouths, and do not speak; they have eyes, and do not see.
A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
6 They have ears, and do not hear; they have noses, and do not smell.
Ears, have they, but they hear not, A nose, have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, and do not feel; they have feet, and do not walk. Neither will they cry out with their throat.
Their hands! but they feel not Their feet! but they walk not, No sound make they in their throat.
8 Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.
Like unto them, shall be they who make them, Every one who trusteth in them.
9 The house of Israel has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
O Israel! trust thou in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
10 The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
O house of Aaron! trust ye in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
11 Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
Ye that revere Yahweh! trust in Yahweh, Their help and their shield, is he!
12 The Lord has been mindful of us, and he has blessed us. He has blessed the house of Israel. He has blessed 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 has blessed all who fear the Lord, the small with the great.
He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great.
14 May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your sons.
Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children.
15 Blessed are you by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:
16 The heaven of heaven is for the Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons 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 will not praise you, Lord, and neither will all those who descend into Hell. (questioned)
The dead, cannot praise Yah, nor any that go down into silence;
18 But we who live will bless the Lord, from this time forward, and even forever.
But, we, will bless Yah, from henceforth even unto times age-abiding. Praise ye Yah.
